Multiple Choice Options

  • A A < B < D < C
  • B D < C < A < B
  • C D < C < B < A
  • D A < B < C < D

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

(A) In the first compound, because of +I effect of CH3CH2- group electron density increses on N atom.

(B) In the second compound, because of +I effect of two CH3CH2- group electron density is more on N atom than first compound so it is more basic than compound A.

(C) Three -CH3 group creates steric hindrance around N atom, for that reason N atom can't donate lone pair easily.

(D) Here lone pair of N atom, perticipate in resonance with benzene ring so N atom can't donate lone pair. That is why it is least basic among this four compounds.

So correct order is D < C < A < B.
