Take CBT

Question

Which of the following statements about amine basicity is TRUE?
Options
A Aromatic amines are stronger bases than aliphatic amines
B Electron-withdrawing groups increase basicity of aniline
C Electron-donating groups increase basicity of aniline
Correct Answer
D All amines have the same basicity
Correct Answer

Option C is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Electron-donating groups (e.g., -OCH3, -CH3) stabilize the anilinium ion, making the amine a stronger base.

Hint

Donating groups help stabilize positive charge.
