Mark the correct order of increasing reactivity:
Which of the most reactive acid derivative?
Carboxylic acid derivatives tend to react via nucleophilic acyl substitution where the group on the acyl unit, $$R-C=O$$ undergoes substitution. The reactivity depends on the the ability of the substituent to function as a leaving group. $$Cl^-$$ as the electron withdrawing group creates more positive charge on $$CO$$ and is the best leaving group therefore $$RCOCl$$ is the most reactive acid derivative.
Mark the correct order of increasing reactivity:
Arrange the following compounds in the increasing order of their property as indicated: Acetaldehyde, acetone, di-tert-butyl ketone, methyl tert- butyl ketone (reactivity towards HCN).
The reactivities of acid halides (I), anhydrides (II), esters (III) and amides (IV) with nucleophilic reagents follow the order :
In which option first one is more reactive than second in each pair towards $$S_{N}2$$ reaction ?
Which among the following ester is most reactive towards nucleophilic attack?
Which of the following compounds will be most easily hydrolysed?
Fill in the blanks: (S) Acetic anhydride is ..... reactive than acetyl chloride.
Answer the following with reasoning:- (v) How the order of reactivity of the acid derivatives is related to the base strength of the leaving group?
Answer the following with reasoning:- (ix) Why a ketone is not isolated from the reaction of an ester on equivalent of RMgX?
