Which one of the following compounds is resistant to nucleophilic attack by hydroxyl ions?
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
Diethylether is a saturated compound, so it is resistant to nucleophilic attack by a hydroxyl ion 
. Other compounds have unsaturation and the unsaturated ‘C’ atom bears partial 
charge, therefore they undergo easy nucleophilic attack by 
ion.
