Measures of Basicity
• The basicity of amines may be measured and compared by using any of these values:
• 1) Kb
• 2) pKb • 3) Ka of conjugate acid• 4) pKa of conjugate acid
Basicity Constant (Kb) and pKb
• Kb is the equilibrium constant for the reaction:

• Aniline (reactant) is stabilized by conjugation of nitrogen lone pair with ring system.
• This stabilization is lost on protonation.

•Increasing delocalization makes diphenylamine a weaker base than aniline, and triphenylamine a weaker base than diphenylamine.
Effect of Substituents on Basicity of Arylamines
•1. Alkyl groups on the ring increase basicity, butonly slightly (less than 1 pK unit).
•2. Electron withdrawing groups, especially orthoand/or para to amine group, decrease basicityand can have a large effect.
