CH 3 Br + Nu – → CH 3 – Nu + Br –
The decreasing order of the rate of the above reaction with nucleophiles (Nu – ) A to D is :
[Nu – =
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
If the nucleopilic atom or the centre is same, nucleophilicity parallels basicity, i.e., more basic the species stronger is the nucleophile.
CH 3 O – > HO – > PhO – > AcO –
Here, the nucleophilic atom i.e. O is the same in all these species, This order can be easily explained on the general concept that a weaker acid has a stronger conjugate base.
