Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following CANNOT react as a nucleophile?
A
CH3NH2
B
(CH3)2NH
C
(CH3)3N
D
(CH3)4N+
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Explanation: Nucleophile donates electron to the electrophiles and there is no lone pair present on nitrogen (CH3)4N+, so donation of electron is not possible.

Detailed explanation-2: -( CH 3 ) 4N ^ + is neither an electrophile, nor a nucleophile because it.

Detailed explanation-3: -1. does not have electron pair for donation as well as cannot attract electron pair.

Detailed explanation-4: -BF3 is electron deficient compound. It does not have lone pair of electrons to donate. So it is not nucleophilic.

Detailed explanation-5: -CH3CN act as nucleophiles due to the presence of lone pair/s of electrons on oxygen or nitrogens and electrophiles due to the presence of multiple bonds.
