JEE Main 2024 — 9 April, Shift 1 — Question 62

Correct order of basic strength of Pyrrole

Option A:
Piperidine $>$ Pyridine $>$ Pyrrole
Correct
Option B:
Pyrrole $>$ Pyridine $>$ Piperidine
Option C:
Pyridine $>$ Piperidine $>$ Pyrrole
Option D:
Pyrrole $>$ Piperidine $>$ Pyridine

Answer: A

Step-by-step solution

Order of basic strength is

$\mathrm{N}\left(\mathrm{sp}^{3}\right.$ , localized lone pair $)>\mathrm{N}\left(\mathrm{sp}^{2}\right.$ , localized lone pair $)>\mathrm{N}\left(\mathrm{sp}^{2}\right.$ , delocalized lone pair, aromatic $)$

$\therefore$ Piperidine $>$ Pyridine $>$ Pyrrole
