Decreasing order of nucleophilicity is

Options

  1. AOH ⁻> NH ₂⁻> CH ₃ O ⁻> RNH ₂
  2. BNH ₂⁻> OH ⁻> CH ₃ O ⁻> RNH ₂
  3. CNH ₂⁻> CH ₃ O ⁻> OH ⁻> RNH ₂
  4. DCH ₃ O ⁻> NH ₂⁻> OH ⁻> RNH ₂

Correct answer

C. NH ₂⁻> CH ₃ O ⁻> OH ⁻> RNH ₂

Step-by-step solution

If the nucleophilic atoms are in the same row of the periodic table, nucleophilicity is approximately in order of basicity. So, the order is NH ₂⁻> CH ₃ O ⁻> OH ⁻> RNH ₂ .
