Which of the following correctly describes the relative nucleophilicities of methoxide and tert-butoxide? tert-Butoxide is more nucleophilic because it is more basic. Methoxide is more nucleophilic because the nucleophilicity of tert-butoxide is diminished by steric effects. These alkoxides have essentially the same nucleophilicities since the negative charge in both is localized on an oxygen atom. tert-Butoxide is more nucleophilic because tert-butanol has a larger acid dissociation value than methanol. tert-Butoxide is more nucleophilic because it contains three methyl groups which increase the charge on its oxygen by donating electron density.
