The correct answer is:
CH3N¨H2  (Aliphatic amines) Most basic due to +I effect of methyl group. Methoxy group provides electron density (+M)- NH2



-NO2 group with draws electron density from N of -NH2


 

CH3N¨H2  Most basic because NH2 connected with sp3 C while in i,ii&iii Connected with

sp2 C & basic strength +M/+I

basic strength 1 M 1 I

NO2 exert -M so least basic while -OCH3 exert +M so more basic



M effect is a stronger effect than the effect
