Order of esterification of alcohols is

Question

Order of esterification of alcohols is (A) 3° > 1° > 2° (B) 2° > 3° > 1° (C) 1° > 2° > 3° (D) none of these

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Order of reactivity of different alcohols towards sterification is 1° alcohol > 2° alcohol > 3° alcohol due to increased steric hindrance in 2° and 3° alcohols.

Q. Order of esterification of alcohols is

$3^{°} > 1^{°} > 2^{°}$

$2^{°} > 3^{°} > 1^{°}$

$1^{°} > 2^{°} > 3^{°}$

none of these

Order of reactivity of different alcohols towards sterification is $1^{°}$ alcohol $> 2^{°}$ alcohol $> 3^{°}$ alcohol due to increased steric hindrance in $2^{°}$ and $3^{°}$ alcohols.

none of these

Order of reactivity of different alcohols towards sterification is 1° alcohol >2° alcohol >3° alcohol due to increased steric hindrance in 2° and 3° alcohols.

$3^{°} > 1^{°} > 2^{°}$

$2^{°} > 3^{°} > 1^{°}$

$1^{°} > 2^{°} > 3^{°}$

Order of reactivity of different alcohols towards sterification is $1^{°}$ alcohol $> 2^{°}$ alcohol $> 3^{°}$ alcohol due to increased steric hindrance in $2^{°}$ and $3^{°}$ alcohols.
