Q. Which one is most reactive towards Nucleophilic addition reaction?

NTA AbhyasNTA Abhyas 2020Aldehydes Ketones and Carboxylic Acids

Solution:

Reactivity of carbonyl compounds towards NAR depends on steric and electronic effects.

Reactivity $ \propto $ E.W.G. (Electron withdrawing group) $ \propto \frac{1}{s t e r i c \text{hindrance}}$

NAR reactivity

Solution

increase (+)ve charge on $\text{s}\text{p}^{2}c$ of $-\underset{O}{\underset{\left|\right. \left|\right.}{C}}-$
