Dimethylamine is a stronger base than methylamine. The methyl groups are electron-releasing. They increase the electron density around the nitrogen atom and thereby increase the availability of the lone pair of electrons. ... This is seen in the pKb's which are 10.73 for dimethylamine and 10.66 for methylamine.
