Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The decreasing order of nucleophilicity of the given compound is to be ranked.
Concept introduction:
Nucleophilicity is the phenomena of measuring the ability of any nucleophile to react with an electron deficient species.
Nucleophiles are Lewis bases, mean electron rich and have the ability to donate electron pairs.
The order of nucleophilicity can be decided on the basis of charge.
A negatively charged nucleophile is more reactive than its conjugate acid.
In the given nucleophiles, the negatively charged nucleophiles are more reactive than the neutral one.
The nucleophile attached with electron withdrawing group has less nucleophilicity because electron withdrawing attracts electron density toward itself.

When 2 mol of 2-methyl-2-butene is added to 1 mol of BH3, the product formed is bis(3-methyl-2-butyl)borane, nicknamed in reagent "disiamylborane." Write its structure. Bis(3-methyl-2-butyl)borane is a useful certain syntheses that require a sterically hindered borane. (The name “disiamyl" comes from "disecondary-iso-amyl," a completely unsystematic and unacceptable name. The name "amyl" is an old common name for a five-carbon alkyl group.) donbyarrow_forward6.26 There is an overall 29-fold difference in reactivity of 1-chlorohexane, 2-chlorohexane, and 3-chlorohexane toward potassium iodide in acetone.
