Consider the following comparison of basic nature of amines.
(i) 
(ii) 
(iii) 
Correct comparisons are
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
I. 
amine; lone-pair on N is used in delocalisation of 
-electrons.
Thus, 
is more basic than 
.
II. 
III. Carbonyl group is (EWG), thus electron density is decreased.
Hence, first is least basic, last one is maximum basic, thus incorrect comparison. Hence, I and II are true.
