Question

* Incorrect. Explain why phenoxide is a much poorer nucleophile and weaker base than cyclohexoxide: Do Our -0. Nat -0. Nat Sodium phenoxide Sodium cyclohexoxide O The negative charge on phenoxide is stabilized by resonance and delocalized over multiple atoms. O The electron pairs in phenoxide are less available for nucleophilic reactions relative to cyclohexoxide because the electrons are delocalized due to resonance. O The electron pairs in cyclohexoxide are less available for nucleophilic reactions relative to phenoxide because the electrons are delocalized due to resonance. The negative charge on cyclohexoxide is stabilized by resonance and delocalized over multiple atoms.

Answer 1

Since; In phenoxide oxyanion is attached to a aromatic ring. Electron density over oxygen stabilized by resonance stabilization.

Whereas, oxyanion attached to the cyclohexane ring not stabilized the electron density ove oxygen.

So; The phenoxide ion acts as poor nucleophile compared to cyclohexoxide ion
