Arrange the Acetaldehyde, Acetone, Methyl t. butyl ketone reactivity towards HCN. Compounds in increasing order of their property indicated.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Due to the presence of groups the carbonyl group the reactivity of a compound depends on the steric hindrance.
Greater the steric hindrance, less will be reactivity of the compound. Reactivity towards HCN is the following order.
Methyl tertiary butyl ketone `lt` Acetone `lt` Acetaldehyde
