Strength of nucleophile Flashcards
1
Q
CH3O- and C6H5O- which is better nucleophile
A
CH3O- as the charge is more available
2
Q
NH2- vs NH3
A
NH2- better
3
Q
Sterric hinderance vs +I effect, which dominates
A
Sterric hinderance
4
Q
Polar protic vs polar aprotic
A
Polar protic: F- gets surrounded by charge more
So F < Cl < Br < I
Polar aprotic:
I < Cl < Br < F
(due to charge more available on smaller atom)
