MCQ Solution: Haloalkanes and Haloarenes
Which of the following nucleophiles is going to promote an SN2 reaction?
1 NaI
2) Water
3) NH4Cl
4) MeONa
SOLUTION
The correct order of strength of nucleophilies mentioned above is:
CH3ONa > NaI > NH4Cl > H2O
A nucleophile in context of Substitution Nucleophilic reactions (SN1 or SN2) is stronger when it has more affinity to attach to the positive site.
SN2 reaction also depends on steric factor,so NaI is better nucleophile than MeONa
