(NO2)2C6H3COCl is NOT a good reactant to test for which of the following?
A) Alcohol (ROH)
B) Amine (RNH2)
C) Ether (ROR)
D) Thiol (RSH)
C is the correct answer.
Nucleophile strength is directly proportional to base strength (capability of donating electron pairs) so why are ethers not as nucleophilic as alcohols, amines, and thiols since the oxygen carries lone pairs like the others?
