Question

Arrange the following carbonyl compounds in decreasing order of their reactivity in nucleophilic addition reaction:, i i > i i i > i > i v, i i > i > i v > i i i, i i i > i i > i > i v, i i i > i > i v > i i

MARKS App · Accepted Answer

The order of reactivity of carbonyl in nucleophilic addition reaction depends on electron defeciency on carbonyl carbon i.e. EWG group in the compound. So, the order will be (ii) > (i) > (iv) >(iii)
