Vedclass · Accepted Answer

Dimethylamine

Vedclass · Answer

(C) In an aqueous solution,the basicity of aliphatic amines depends on the combined effect of inductive effect,solvation effect,and steric hindrance. For methyl-substituted amines,the order of basicity is $(CH_3)_2NH > CH_3NH_2 > (CH_3)_3N$. Dimethylamine $(CH_3)_2NH$ is a secondary amine and is the strongest base among the given options due to the optimal balance of the $+I$ effect and solvation. Aniline is a very weak base due to the resonance stabilization of the lone pair on the nitrogen atom into the benzene ring.

Which of the following is the strongest base in an aqueous solution?
