Solution

The correct option is B CH3CH2NH2>CH3N=CHCH3>CH3CH2CN
key point:
  • More the availability of Natom to donate its lone pair, more will be the basicity of amine.
  • Presence of electron releasing groups like (CH3,C2H5) increases the basicity
  • The presence of an electron-withdrawing group (Like (CN) decreases the basicity.
  • sp2 hybridized N is less electronegative than sp hybridized.

Thus, the order of basic strength of the given compounds is CH3CH2NH2>CH3N=CHCH3,>CH3CH2CN

Option B is correct.
