Among the following compounds, most basic is

A

Aniline

B

Acetanilide

C

p-nitro

D

Benzylamine.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Acetanilide is an amide and hence it is a much weaker base than aniline. Further since electron withdrawing substituents decrease the basicity of amines, therefore p-notro aniline is a weaker base than aniline. Benzylamine is aralkylamine and hence a much stronger base than aniline. Thus benzylamine is the strongest base.
