Question

In gas phase, basicity of simple aliphatic amines generally follows:

  1. A
    3∘^\circ > 2∘^\circ > 1∘^\circ > NH3_3
    Correct
  2. B
    NH3_3 > 1∘^\circ > 2∘^\circ
  3. C
    1∘^\circ > 2∘^\circ > 3∘^\circ
  4. D
    all same

Correct answer

3∘^\circ > 2∘^\circ > 1∘^\circ > NH3_3

Explanation

Without solvation, +I effect dominates more strongly.
