We
can say that aniline
is a weaker base than cyclohexylamine because the electron pair on
nitrogen of aniline is strongly held by virtue of being delocalized into the π system of the
aromatic ring.
The unshared pair in cyclohexylamine is localized on nitrogen, less strongly held, and
therefore “more available” in an acid–base reaction.
