Concept explainers
Rank the following compounds in order of increasing reactivity towards nucleophilic attack.
Interpretation: The given compounds are to be arranged in order of increasing reactivity towards nucleophilic attack.
Concept introduction: Both aldehydes and ketones undergo nucleophilic addition reaction. The relative reactivity of carbonyl group is inversely proportional to the number of
Answer to Problem 21.1P
The arrangement of given compounds in the increasing reactivity towards nucleophilic attack is,
Explanation of Solution
Both aldehydes and ketones undergo nucleophilic addition reaction. In this reaction, the nucleophilic attack takes place at carbonyl carbon. The relative reactivity of carbonyl group is inversely proportional to the number of
