Which of the the following esters gets hydrolysed most easily under alkaline conditions?

A

B

C

D

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

Due to poweful -I and -R-effect of `NO_(2)` the +ve

charge on the C=O group of the ester increases. As a result, nucleophilic attack by the `OH^(-)` occurs readily and hence the eser gets hydrolysed easily.
