Which is the MOST basic nucleophile in the following series?
Options:
Answer:
B
Solution:
For the same donor atom, nucleophilicity parallels basicity. CH3O- is the conjugate base of CH3OH (pKa about 15.5), a weak acid, so it is the strongest base. CH3OH and H2O are neutral, and Cl- is the conjugate base of the strong acid HCl. Therefore, the answer is (B).
