Pyridine itself (unsubstituted) is basic due to presence of lone pare of electron on nitrogen atom which is not involved in aromatic character , methyl at 4th (Para) position is electron donor due to hyper-conjugation so electrons density at nitrogen becomes increase so 4-methyl pyridine is more basic as compare to unsubstituted pyridine.

Why methyl amine is a stronger base than ammonia?

Because methyl is an electron pumping group and It pumps electrons to Amine group to make it basic, But Ammonia has no influence from any basic groups. Therefore compared to Methyl-Amine, Ammonia is less basic

What is the dehydration of 4 methylcyclohexanol?

The dehydration of 4-methylcyclohexanol yields only one product, 4-methylcyclohexene. --Ron Actually, at least three different isomers of methyl cyclohexene are produced. 1 methyl cyclohexene, 3-methyl cyclohexene and 4-methyl cyclohexene. It is a fascinating reaction undergoing a lot of recent study. It is becoming the classic example of the "Evelyn Effect" wherin the proportions of different products of a reaction vary with time as a result of the fact that the rates of the processes generating the different products differ in themselves.
