Basic Powers & Their Orders (Chemistry Fact Sheet- 2)

Basic power Why ? lone pair on N is not used in resonance of -electrons in I. In II lone pair of the ring is I > III > II itself used in delocalisation while that of outside ring in III. OCH3 is strong electron donating group. This is due to I > II > III ortho effect, all the > IV aniline are less basic than p-substituted aniline due to steric hindrance. I (hyper conugation and induction) II I > II > III (induction) IV (ortho > IV effect), ortho effect normally decreases basic nature. Order

In II there is sp3 hybridised C, In I, sp2. II > I > III NO2 is electron withdrawing.

5.

lone pair on N is used in delocalisation of electrons in aromatic amines while III > I > II cyclohexyl is electron repelling (III); in II, lone pair on N is used by two benzene ring. NO2 is electronwithdrawing, thus nitro-anilines are less I > II > III basic than aniline. IV is > IV less basic than III because NO2 is closer and exerts a stronger inductive effect.

7.

phenyl and COCH3 are electronwithdraIII > I > II wing and C6H5 < COCH3

8.

Electron donating I < II < III nature of C2H5 > CH3 So more basic strength.

9.

I < II < III ortho effect in I.

10.

I < II < III ortho effect in (I)
