Why is tetramethyl ammonium hydroxide more basic than trimethyl amine?
Tetra methyl ammonium hydroxide is more basic. It shows a strong basic nature because of very stable tetramethylammonium ion and the hydroxide being easily available. The inductive effect (+I) is very high creating a larger electron density which results in hydroxide to be available easily.For Trimethylamine, induction effect is not so strong.
bcos in tetramrthyl ammonium hydroxide there are 4 methyl groups which exert strong positive inductive effect. which is not the case in trimethyl amine.
