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 delocalisation of lone pair of electrons of the N
atom over the benzene ring. Pyrrole is not more basic because the lone pair of electrons on the N -atom is donated towards aromatic sextet formation. Therefore, pyrrolidine is strongest base as lone pair of nitrogen does not involved in resonance and also due to presence of two alkyl ring residue, basic strength becomes high among the four given compounds.
