Benzylamine is a stronger base than aniline mainly because:
AIt has two N-H bonds
BIts NH2 is not on the ring
CIt is more water soluble
DIts ring releases electrons
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Its NH2 is not on the ring
In benzylamine (pKb 4.70) the NH2 is not on the ring, so its lone pair is not delocalised.
