Which of the following alkoxides is the most reactive nucleophile?

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
The most reactive nucleophile is `(CH_(3))_(3)CO^(-)` because of three electron donating `-CH_(3)` groups `(+I` effect ) attached which tends to increase the electrons density no O atom.
