MCQ
Reactivity towards nucleophilic addition reaction of

$(I) HCHO$,

$(II)$ $C{H_3}CHO$,

$(III)$ $C{H_3}COC{H_3}$ is

  • A
    $II > III > I$
  • B
    $III > II > I$
  • $I > II > III$
  • D
    $I > II < III$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$I > II > III$
c
(c) Carbonyl carbon become more reactive toward nucleophilic addition by increasing the $+I$ effect of alkyl group so the reactivity order is as
$\mathop {HCHO}\limits_{\text{I}}  > \mathop {C{H_3}CHO}\limits_{{\text{II}}}  > \mathop {C{H_3}COC{H_3}}\limits_{{\text{IIII}}} $
