Among the following amines, the strongest Bronsted base is:
A
B
NH 3
C
D
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D
Aniline is a weaker base than 
due to delocalization of lone pair of electrons of the N
atom over the benzene ring. Pyrrole is not more basic because the lone pair electrons on the N -atom is donated towards aromatic sextet formation.
Therefore, pyrrolidine is strongest base as lone pair of nitrogen does not included in resonance and also due to presence of alkyl ring residue, basic strength becomes high among given four compounds.
