Which of the following statement is true about the compounds shown below? I is more basic and more nucleophilic than II. I is less basic and less nucleophilic than II. I is more basic but less nucleophilic than II. I is less basic but more nucleophilic than II. Which of the following statement is true about the compounds shown below? I is more basic and more nucleophilic than II. I is less basic and less nucleophilic than II. I is more basic but less nucleophilic than II. I is less basic but more nucleophilic than II. Draw two resonance structures for the following carbocation?

Explanation / Answer

13) I is more basic but less nucleophilic than II.

basisity ia thermodynamic propertiy where as nucleophilicity is a kinetic propertiy. I is more basic because oxygen is more electronegative and capture H+ ion to form phenol. where as it is less nucleophile as oxygen tightly hold the electron density towards itself with respective to Sulpher, and thereby phenolte ion (compound I) can not donate electron as good as compound II.
