JEE MAIN - Chemistry (2006 - No. 8)

CH3Br + Nu- $$\to$$ CH3 - Nu + Br- The decreasing order of the rate of the above reaction with nucleophiles (Nu) A to D is
[Nu = (A) PhO, (B) AcO, (C) HO–, (D) CH3O]
A > B > C > D
B > D > C > A
D > C > A > B
D > C > B > A

Explanation

TIPS/Formulae :

The stronger the acid, the weaker the conjugate base formed.

The acid character follows the order :

$$C{H_3}COOH > {C_6}{H_5}OH > {H_2}O > C{H_3}OH$$

The basic character will follow the order

$$C{H_3}CO{O^ - } < {C_6}{H_5}{O^ - } < {O^ - }H < C{H_3}{O^ - }$$
