Which from following amines has highest $\mathrm{pK}_{\mathrm{b}}$ value?
  1. Arylamine
  2. Tertiary alkanamine
  3. Secondary alkanamine
  4. Primary alkanamine

Solution

In general, arylamines are weaker bases than aliphatic amines. Hence, arylamine is the weakest base and its $\mathrm{pK}_{\mathrm{b}}$ value is the highest among the given aliphatic amines.
