Abstract

The substitution of the hydrogens of ammonia by alkyl groups is attended by an increase in basicity,'and Hall and Sprinkle2 have shown that the introduction of one alkyl group into ammonia brings about a decided increase in basicity, a second alkyl group results in only a slight, further increase, whereas a third alkyl group produces a slight drop in basicity. The ionization constants of the tertiary amines are therefore comparable to those of the primary ...
