    Which one of the following compounds is resistant to nucleophilic attack by hydroxyl ions? [AIPMT 1998]

    A) Methyl acetate

    B) Acetonitrile

    C) Dimethyl ether

    D) Acetamide

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    [c] Dimethyl ether does not show nucleophilic attack due to absence of multiple bond.
                Other compounds have multiple bond C-atom and bears partial positive charges therefore they undergo nucleophilic attack by \[O{{H}^{-}}\] ions.
