The amine which is more reactive towards 𝐻𝐼 is:
Correct answer: B. Dimethyl amine
- A. Diethyl methyl amine
- B. Dimethyl amine
- C. Methyl propyl amine
- D. Butyl amine
Explanation
The greater the basicity of amines the higher its reactivity. Order of basicity if the −R group is −CH3 group: Secondary amine > primary amine > tertiary amine > Ammonia > Aryl compounds. Dimethyl amine, a secondary amine, is the most reactive amine towards HI.

About Alkyl Halides
Alkyl halides are named and related to their carbon-halogen structure, polarity and reactivity. The key reactions are nucleophilic substitution by SN1 and SN2 mechanisms and elimination by E1 and E2 mechanisms, including how substrate structure, nucleophile, base, solvent and temperature influence substitution versus elimination.
