JEE Main levelOne or more correct optionsDifficulty 2 of 3g2088

Which of the following pairs are correctly arranged with the stronger base first (in aqueous solution)?

A $CH X_{3} NH X_{2}$ , $C X_{6} H X_{5} NH X_{2}$
B $(C X_{2} H X_{5}) X_{2} NH$ , $C X_{2} H X_{5} NH X_{2}$
Cpiperidine, pyridine
Dpyrrole, pyridine

Answer: A, B, C

A: aliphatic amine > aniline. B: in aqueous solution diethylamine > ethylamine. C: sp

^{3}

N (pKaH 11.1) > sp

^{2}

N (5.2). D is wrong because pyrrole is non-basic while pyridine is basic.
