Question
The correct decreasing order of their reactivity towards hydrolysis is

NTA AbhyasNTA Abhyas 2022

Solution:

The ease of hydrolysis depends upon the magnitude of the +ve charge on the carbonyl group. Electron-withdrawing groups increase the magnitude of positive charge and electron donating groups decrease the magnitude of positive charge. Hence, the decreasing order of reactivity towards hydrolysis is
