Among the given compounds, the most susceptible to nucleophilic attack at the cabonyl group is:

A

`MeCOCI`

B

`MeCHO`

C

`MeCOOMe`

D

`MeCOOCOMe`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Amongst aldehyde & the acid derivatives, acid chloride are the most susceptible to nucleophilic attack due to strong `-I` effect & weak `+R` effect of the Cl-atom as a result of which carbonyl carbon has the highest electron deficiency. The actual order is
`MeCOCI gt MeCOOCOMe gt MeCOOMe gt MeCHO`.
