Which of the following order for basic strength is/are correct?
Dear Student,
Option b is the correct answer. In cyclohexylamine, the lone pair of electrons present on the nitrogen is a localised one and it does not show resonance, which makes it a strong base. In case of 2-aminocyclohexanone, the elctron pair of nitrogen resonates and shifts towards oxygen, making it less basic.
