Among the following the strongest nucleophile is

Options

  1. AC ₂ H ₅ SH
  2. BCH ₃ COO ⁻
  3. CCH ₃ NH ₂
  4. DNCCH ₂⁻

Correct answer

A. C ₂ H ₅ SH

Step-by-step solution

Nucleophiles are those substances which can donate a pair of electrons. These can be neutral or negative. The nucleophilic power depends on the tendency of species to donate electrons. This is more, when an electron pushing group ( +I group) is present. Among the alkyl groups, those have higher number of C-atoms will push more, hence ethyl > methyl.
