Which one is stronger nucleophile?
- A
C2H5O
- B
C2H5S
- C
Both are equally strong
- D
None of the above
C2H5S- is the stronger nucleophile due to the positive inductive effect from the alkyl group and since sulfur has more electrons than oxygen, it is attracted toward the center of a positive charge.
