Arrange the following alcohols in order of reactivity towards gaseous HBr `:`

A

`II gt III gtIV gt I`

B

`I gt II gt III gt IV`

C

`III gt II gt IV gt I`

D

`I gt IV gt II gt III`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
It is correct decreasing order. The presence of F atoms with -I effect will make the cleavage of C-OH bond easy. The releative reactivity depends upon the number of such atoms and their relative positions. Therefore (c) is the correct decreasing order of reactivity.
