Why are aliphatic amines more basic than aromatic amines?
Answer (1)
Aliphatic amines are more basic than aromatic amines because the lone pair of electrons on nitrogen in aliphatic amines is more accessible for protonation. In aromatic amines, the lone pair on nitrogen is partially delocalized into the aromatic ring, reducing its availability to accept a proton, thus making aromatic amines less basic.
