Benzylamine is a stronger base than aniline because

• Correct answer
  A

  the lone pair of electrons on the nitrogen atom in aniline is delocalised
• B

  the lone pair of electrons on the nitrogen atom in aniline is not involved in resonance
• C

  benzylamine has a higher molecular mass than aniline
• D

  the lone pair of electrons on the nitrogen atom in benzylamine is delocalised

Solution

Benzyloamine $\Rightarrow$



Due to delocalisation of lone pair of electrons on the nitrogen atom in aniline, it is weaker basic than benzaldehyde.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
