SOME TIME IT INCREASES REACTIVITY OF CHEMICAL REACTION ALSO BY THE BULKYNESS OF GROUP.for example if we compare basic nature of N,NDimethylaniline and 2,6dimethylN,NDimethylaniline ,later one is more basic because bulky alkyl group create steric hindrance due to this amino group come out of the plane and its lone pair do not take part in resonance so basic nature increases.
