Question

Which of the following compounds is most basic?
Options
A Aniline
B Benzylamine
Correct Answer
C Acetanilide
D p-nitroaniline
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Benzylamine (C6H5CH2NH2) is most basic because the amino group is not directly attached to the ring (no resonance delocalization into the ring). Aniline is weaker due to resonance, acetanilide is weak (amide), and p-nitroaniline is very weak (electron-withdrawing nitro group).

Hint

Which amine has the lone pair not delocalized into the aromatic ring?
