Arrange the following in decreasing order of nucleophilic addition
`CH_(3)CHO, CH_(3)COCH_(3), HCHO, C_(2)H_(5)COCH_(3)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The decreasing order is
`HCHOgtCH_(3)CHOgtCH_(3)COCH_(3)gtCH_(3)COC_(2)H_(5)`
It is due to decreasing +ve charge on carbonyl carbon for the attack of nucleophile.
