Q. Arrange following compounds in decreasing order of reactivity for hydrolysis reaction

Question Question

NTA AbhyasNTA Abhyas 2020

Solution:

Reactivity $ \propto $ electron deficiency at C-atom of $-CO$ group

or Reactivity $ \propto \frac{1}{S t a b i l i t y \, o f \, p o l a r \, s t r u c t u r e}$

Thus electron withdrawing group increases reactivity and electron donating group decreases reactivity.

Hence the order is 2 > 4 > 1 > 3.
