The strongest base among the following:
The strongest base among the following:
Piperidine
Pyridine
Pyrrole
Oxane
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is A
Piperidine
Amines are more basic than ethers as oxygen is more electronegative than nitrogen. So oxane is less basic than piperidine. Pyrrole is not a good base as the lone pair of electrons is used to restore aromaticity to the ring. Between pyrrole & pyridine, pyridine is more basic as its lone pair is not involved in resonance.
