Which one of the following is the strongest base in aqueous solution?

  1. A
    Trimethylamine
  2. B
    Aniline
  3. C
    Dimethylamine
  4. D
    Methylamine

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

In aqueous solution, the basic strength of methyl-substituted amines is determined by three factors: Inductive effect (), Solvation effect (hydrogen bonding with water), and Steric hindrance.The experimental order of basic strength for methyl amines in water is: Dimethylamine () is the strongest base.Note: Aniline is much weaker because the lone pair on nitrogen is delocalized into the benzene ring.
