Question

Choose the correct alternative from the following. (A) Ketones are more reactive than aldehydes towards NSR (B) Aldehydes are more reactive than ketones towards NSR (C) Formaldehyde is the least reactive carbonyl compounds towards NSR (D) Steric hindrance does not play a role to effect the reactivity of carbonyl compounds towards NAR

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Aldehydes are more reactive than ketones in nucleophilic addition reactions due to steric and electronic reasons.
Due to absence of any alkyl group in formaldehyde, it is the most reactive compound in carbonyl family towards NAR.

Q. Choose the correct alternative from the following.

Ketones are more reactive than aldehydes towards NSR

Aldehydes are more reactive than ketones towards NSR

Formaldehyde is the least reactive carbonyl compounds towards NSR

Steric hindrance does not play a role to effect the reactivity of carbonyl compounds towards NAR

Aldehydes are more reactive than ketones in nucleophilic addition reactions due to steric and electronic reasons. Due to absence of any alkyl group in formaldehyde, it is the most reactive compound in carbonyl family towards NAR.
