The decreasing order of nucleophilicity among the following nucleophiles is:
image

  1. A
    (a), (b), (c), (d)
  2. B
    (d), (c), (b), (a)
  3. C
    (b), (c), (a), (d)
  4. D
    (c), (b), (a), (d)

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Generally, a stronger base is a better nucleophile in a given solvent (unless steric factors dominate). and are strong bases. is a weak base due to resonance. is the weakest base (conjugate of a sulfonic acid).The order is .
