SECTION D
The following questions are case-based questions. Each question has an internal choice and carries
4 marks each. Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.
29. Amines have a lone pair of electrons on nitrogen atoms due to which they behave as Lewis base.
Larger the value of Kb or smaller the value of pKb stronger is the base. Amines are more basic
than alcohols, ethers, esters, etc. The basic character of aliphatic amines should increase with the
increase of alkyl substitution. But it does not occur in a regular manner as a secondary aliphatic
amine is unexpectedly more basic than a tertiary amine in solutions. Aromatic amines are weaker
bases than ammonia and aliphatic amines. Electron-donating groups such as…
—CH3, —OCH3, —NH2, etc.,
increase the basicity while electron-withdrawing substituents such as —NO2, —CN,
halogens.
etc. decrease the basicity of amines. The effect of these substituents is more at p- than at
m-positions.

C2H5NH2, C6H5NH2, NH3, C6H5CH2NH2, (C2H5)2NH

c. Which is more acidic, aniline or ammonia? and why? Explain.
d. (CH3)2NH is more basic than (CH3)3N in an aqueous solution. Give a reason.
30. Grignard reagents are alkyl magnesium halides. Due to the large electronegativity
difference between carbon and magnesium, the carbon-magnesium bond has significant
ionic character. The hydrocarbon part of the Grignard reagents acts as a source of
carbanions. Therefore, Grignard reagents readily undergo nucleophilic addition
reactions to aldehydes and ketones forming the addition products which upon
hydrolysis yield alcohols.
a. Give the mechanism of addition of Grignard reagent to carbonyl compound
forming an alcohol.
