In carbylamine reaction, alkyl isocyanides are formed.
28.
Amines are stronger bases than amines followed by amines. Further, among amines, (C2H5)2NH is more basic than (CH3)2NH due to stronger +I-effect of the CH3CH2 over CH3 group. Thus, option (b) is correct.
29.
A strongest base has the smallest pKb, i.e. option (b) is correct.
30.
In the gaseous phase, basicity increases as the +I effect of the alkyl groups increases. Thus, option (b) is correct.
31.
In the gaseous phase, basicity increases as the + I-effect of the alkyl groups increases, i.e., CH3NH2(I) < (CH3)2 NH < (CH3)3 N (III). However, due to -I-effect of the CH- group, CHCHNH (IV) is even a weaker base than CHNH (I). Thus, the overall, basic character increases in the order : IV < I < II < III.
