  • When hydrogen atoms of the amino group of amines are replaced by electron donating alkyl groups, the basic character of the resulting amine increases.
  • But, 3o amine is less basic due to steric hindrance.
  • Thus, the order of basicity is: N-methyl ethanamine(2oamine)>Methanamine(1oamine)>  N,N-dimethyl methanamine(3oamine).
  • This is due to +I effect and Solvation effect.
