Cyclohexylamine is more basic than aniline. Explain

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Both are Lewis bases. In anline, the electron pair on the nitrogen atom is involved in conjugation with the pi `(pi)` electron pairs of the ring. As a result, the electron density on the nitrogen atom is reduced. The electron releasing tendency of aniline or its basic strength is less than that of cyclohexylamine in which the electron pair on the nitrogen atom is not involved in any conjugation.

there, cyclohexylamine is a stronger base.
