2,6 dimethyl aniline is more basic than aniline because methyl group is electron releasing group which makes it more basic than aniline.

2,6-dimethylaniline is more basic than aniline because of the methyl group in 2,6-dimethylaniline(electron withdrawing group) is more dominant than that in aniline. that's the reason.

2,6 dimethyl aniline is less basic than aniline due to ortho effect which isca combo of steric and electronic factors
