a) p-Nitroaniline, p-aminobenzaldehyde, p-bromoaniline
Interpretation:
The compounds p-nitroaniline, p-aminobenzaldehyde and p-bromoaniline are to be arranged in the increasing order of their basicity.
Concept introduction:
b) p-Chloroaniline, p-aminoacetophenone, p-methylaniline
Interpretation:
The compounds p-chloroaniline, p-aminoacetophenone and p-methylaniline are to be arranged in the increasing order of their basicity.
Concept introduction:
Amines are basic as they can donate the lone pair if electrons on the N atom. Generally aryl amines are less basic than alkyl amines. An electron withdrawing substituent present on the aromatic ring reduces the base strength while an electron releasing substituent present on the aromatic ring enhances the base strength.
c) p-(trifluoromethyl)aniline, p-methylaniline, p-(fluoromethyl)aniline
Interpretation:
The compounds p-(trifluoromethyl)aniline, p-methylaniline and p-(fluoromethyl) aniline are to be arranged in the increasing order of their basicity.
Concept introduction:

How can you differentiate basicity of aniline, ammonia, dimethylamine, methylaminearrow_forwardIn the mid-1930s a substance was isolated from a fungus that is a parasite of ryes and other grasses. This alkaloid, lysergic acid, has been of great interest to chemists because of its strange, dramatic action on the human mind. Many derivatives of lysergic acid are known, some with medicinal applications. Perhaps the best known derivative of lysergic acid is the potent hallucinogen lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD): మగవా జి N-H LSD (CH25N;O) Like other alkaloids, LSD is a weak base, with Kp = 7.6 × 107.
