MCQ
Among the following the strongest nucleophile is
  • ${C_2}{H_5}SH$
  • B
    $C{H_3}CO{O^ - }$
  • C
    $C{H_3}N{H_2}$
  • D
    $NCCH_2^ - $

Answer

Correct option: A.
${C_2}{H_5}SH$
a
(a) 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 having higher number of $C$ - atoms will push more, hence ethyl $> $ methyl.
