yes !... siddhart !!
anyhow the mightier will survive !
its the law of nature !
the weak is indeed replaced by the strong ! :)
in this case its nucleophile !
"nucleophilicity runs parallel to basicity when the nucleophilic atom is the same in various species"
subash do you have anything to discuss?
i mean i was doin some physics ......lets do physics today !
or will continue this stuff tomorow !!
what do you say ?
yes !... siddhart !!

You are absolutely wrong.
Let me reproduce from the text book.
"(5) In nucleophilic substitution reactions basicity of leaving group should be less than the basicity of incoming nucleophilic group. Thus strong basic nucleophilic group replaces weakly basic nucleophilic group of the substrate"
Modern Organic Chemistry by Jagadamba Singh ---page 212
there are many . I'll only tell why . if it's a strong base it prefers to abstract a protn than go and attack somehwere hope u got it.
ya rite tomorrow nite same time i will come with some thing to discuss as well
so did u guys gain any ??
we will continue it tommorow with some interesting things !!
after all discussion plays a major role in JEE :)
iam (very)1/0 poor in chemistry so i wnat to gain some information through this discussion
i am (very)infinfiy poor in chemistry
i joined this discussion just because i thought i could learn something from this
subash for the sake of discussion ! :)
i am very very very very very very very very very very poor in chemistry !!
hehe .. even worst than this !
throw the bonds away prajith!!
hehe ...the second reason was healthy though!
good work !
itz okay they are different terms
but one can atleast say nucleophilicity is proportional to basicity
btw r u asking these questions as doubts or discussions
prajith ofcourse it is !! if OH isnt stronger then , obviously HS is !!
intelligent boy ! :)
but reason please !
charged ions can attack the positively charged atom more effectively than the uncharged ones
ok unique then the
order will be RO->RCOO->ROH > RCOOH
a good nucleophile is one which has more tendency to attack the positive charged ion.
the alkoxide ion have more electron density than other molecule and therefore it has the more probability to attack an electrophilic center becos negative charge will spread more over the molecule
