    Which of the following is maximum basic?

    A)  \[{{({{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}})}_{2}}NH\]

    B)  \[{{(C{{H}_{3}})}_{2}}NH\]

    C)  \[{{({{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}})}_{3}}N\]

    D)  \[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}N{{H}_{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                    \[{{({{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}})}_{2}}NH\] is maximum basic due to the \[+I\]-effect, but \[{{({{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}})}_{3}}N\] is less basic than \[{{({{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}})}_{2}}NH\]due to steric effect. Basic strength \[\alpha =\frac{+I\,effect}{steric\,effect}\]
