Question
  1. a) Put these three common types of carbonyl compound in order of decreasing reactivity

        ester          amide          acid chloride   

       b) For the least reactive, show the interconversion to its other resonance form:

 

      How does this electron delocalisation make it stable?

 

      c) For the most reactive, draw the mechanism of its undergoing hydrolysis (reaction with H2O):

Why makes this type of carbonyl so reactive to nucleophiles?
