Question

Transcribed Image Text:**Question 12:** Which of the following compounds is most basic?
**Answer Options:**
- A) I
- B) II
- C) III
- D) IV
- E) All of these
**Answer Key:**
- Correct answer: D) IV (This answer is circled)
**Diagrams Explanation:**
1. **Compound I**: A benzene ring with a hydroxyl group (phenol).
2. **Compound II**: A cyclohexanone (six-membered carbon ring with a double-bonded oxygen).
3. **Compound III**: A benzene ring bonded to an ethyl group ending in a triple bond (phenylacetylene).
4. **Compound IV**: An aniline (benzene ring bonded to an amino group, -NH₂).
Compound IV is highlighted as the basic compound due to the presence of the amino group, which is more basic than the other functional groups in the given structures.
