The correct decreasing order of nucleo-philicity of the following species are -

(i) (CH3)3COΘ\left(\mathrm{CH}_3\right)_3 \mathrm{CO}^{\Theta}

(ii) CH3OΘ\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{O}^{\Theta}

(iii) (CH3)2CHOΘ\left(\mathrm{CH}_3\right)_2 \mathrm{CHO}^{\Theta}

(iv) CH3CH2OΘ\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{O}^{\Theta}
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
(i) >> (iii) >> (iv) >> (ii)
Option C ((ii) >> (iv) >> (iii) >> (i)) is the correct order of nucleophilicity because smaller, less hindered alkoxides are generally better nucleophiles.
