Among the following, the strongest nucleophiles is(a) $\mathrm{C}_2 \mathrm{H}_5 \mathrm{SH}$(b) $\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{COO}^{-}$(c) $\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{NH}_2$(d) $\mathrm{NCCH}_2^{-}$
Step 1
A nucleophile is an electron-rich species that donates electrons to form a bond with an electron-deficient center (electrophile). The strength of a nucleophile depends on several factors: - Negative charge (anions are generally stronger nucleophiles than neutral Show more…
