A) \[C{{H}_{3}}N{{H}_{2}}>{{(C{{H}_{3}})}_{2}}N{{H}_{2}}>{{(C{{H}_{3}})}_{3}}N\]
B) \[{{(C{{H}_{3}})}_{2}}NH>{{(C{{H}_{3}})}_{3}}N>C{{H}_{3}}N{{H}_{2}}\]
C) \[{{(C{{H}_{3}})}_{3}}N>{{(C{{H}_{3}})}_{2}}NH>C{{H}_{3}}N{{H}_{2}}\]
D) \[{{(C{{H}_{3}})}_{2}}NH>C{{H}_{3}}N{{H}_{2}}>{{(C{{H}_{3}})}_{3}}N\]
Correct Answer: D
Solution :
Basicity of amines depends upon the availability of lone pair of electrons of nitrogen for donation. Electron releasing group increases the electron density over nitrogen, thus increases the basic character. \[{{3}^{o}}\] methyl amine although contains three electron releasing groups but is least basic because of steric hindrance. Hence, the order of basic character is \[{{(C{{H}_{3}})}_{2}}NH>C{{H}_{3}}N{{H}_{2}}>{{(C{{H}_{3}})}_{3}}N\]
