A) Alkyl amines are stronger bases than aryl amines
B) Alkyl amines react with nitrous acid to produce alcohols
C) Aryl amines react with nitrous acid to produce phenols
D) Alkyl amines are stronger bases than ammonia
Correct Answer: C
Solution :
[c] Key Idea (i) Presence of electron withdrawing substituent decreases the basicity while the presence of electron releasing substituent like, ![]() |
(ii) ![]() ![]() ![]() |
Since, phenyl group is a electron withdrawing |
group, it decreases the basicity. Alkyl group, on the other hand, being electron releasing, increases the basicity. Thus, alkyl amines are more basic as compared to aryl amines as well as ammonia. ![]() ![]() |
But![]() |
Thus,![]() |
