Q. Arrange the following carbonyl compounds in decreasing order of their reactivity in nucleophilic addition reaction:

Question

NTA AbhyasNTA Abhyas 2020Aldehydes Ketones and Carboxylic Acids

Solution:

The order of reactivity of carbonyl in nucleophilic addition reaction depends on electron defeciency on carbonyl carbon i.e. EWG group in the compound.

Solution

So, the order will be (ii) > (i) > (iv) > (iii)
