basicity order ques
« on: January 10, 2011, 03:10:14 AM »
Hey folks.
The orders given are stated in my book.I'm here to ask why.

basicity: p-methyl aniline>m-()>aniline>o-()
p exerts hyperconjugation and +I,m only +I ,but ortho exerts hyperconjugation and higher +I.
Shouldn't o-methyl aniline have high basicity?

basicity: aniline>m-nitro()>p-nitro()>o-nitro()
Why is o- at last?Shouldn't it move NH2 out of plane so that no -R takes place?

And is the ortho effect applicable to all substituents?Can you clear this for me?
Thank You.

What do you mean when you write "m-()", "o-()"

google said that it is effected by ortho effect but ortho effect should inc. basicity by making molicule non planar... like yo said ... i guess!!!!
Chemistry is a subject in which even the Professor can get confused at any time.
