  • Question
  • Order of basicity of amines in gaseous state?


  • Options
  • A. 2'> 1'> 3' > NH3
  • B. 3' > 2' > 1'> NH3
  • C. 1' > 2' > 3'> NH3
  • D. 2'> 3'> 1' > NH3

  • Correct Answer
  • 3' > 2' > 1'> NH3 

    Explanation

    The order of basicity in ammonia is different in gaseous phases vs. aqueous phases due to hydrogen bonding.

     

    So in gaseous phases it's the well known: 3' > 2' > 1'> NH3. Just so we're on the same page, this is due to the inductive effect of electron donating alkyl groups--they destabilize the lone pair on nitrogen atom, making nitrogen more basic.

     

    But in aqueous phase, the order is slightly different: 2'> 1'> 3' > NH3.
