Answer» The decreasing order of rate of above reaction with nucleophile nu- is CH3O– > HO– > PhO– > AcO– Explanation: If the nucleophilic atom or the centre is same, more basic the species stronger is the nucleophile. Here, the nucleophilic atom i.e. O is the same in all these species. This order can be easily explained on the general concept that a weaker acid has a stronger conjugate base. |
