I was reading through barrons and I was wondering if someone could help explain this one problem to me.

Which is the most basic?
a) C6H5NH2
b) BrCH2NH2
c) FCH2NH2
d) CHsNH2
e) ClCH2NH2

The answer that was given was D, but I thought that it was C because F is the most electronegative.

 

[jeezy]

electron w/drawing groups make a molecule acidic

electron donating groups make it basic

F is weakly withdrawing, so it makes (c) a little more acidic
