Rank the following species in order of decreasing nucleophilicity in a polar protic solvent `("most"to" least nucleophilic"):`
`(I) CH_(3)CH_(2)CH_(2)O^(-)`
`(II) CH_(3)CH_(2)CH_(2)S^(-)`
(III)`CH_(3)CH_(2)overset(O)overset(||)C-O^(-)`

A

`3gt1gt2`

B

`2gt3gt1`

C

`1gt3gt2`

D

`2gt1gt3`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
(d) In polar protic solvent less hydrogen bonding nucleophile is more nucleophilic.
