Which of the following alkoxide nucleophiles is most reactive towards `SN^2` reaction

A

`CH_3O^-`

B

`CH_3CH_2O^-`

C

`CH_3-undersetoverset(|)(CH_3)(C )H - O^-`

D

`(CH_3)_3CO^- `

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:

A

Electron density at oxygen of Alkoxide ion increases reactivity decreases towards `SN` reaction hence `CH_3O^-` is more reactive
