The most reactive nucleophile among the following is

A

`CH_(3)O^(-)`

B

`C_(6)H_(5)O^(-)`

C

`(CH_(3))_(2)CHO^(-)`

D

`(CH_(3))_(3)CO^(-)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Smaller the size of the nucleophile (i.e., `CH_(3)O^(-)`), lesser is the steric hindrance and hence more reactive it is.
