Reasoning Question Series
Q.No.27
Which 1 is more basic.??
a)imidazole
b)imidazoline
c)pyridine
Ans :
#First Reason :
Imidazoline pKa = 1 to 11 depending upon the substituent
imidazole pKa = 14.5
Pyridine pKa = 5.22
so order of basicity :
imidazole>Imidazoline> Pyridine
imidazole is six times more basic than Pyridine
#second reason =
resonance delocalization generally reduces the basicity of amines
#third reason:
imidazole with 2 N is more basic than pyridine because pyridine only have one N to stabilize the positive charge
