The correct Answer is:
To determine the order of hydrolysis among acid derivatives, we will analyze the reactivity of each type of acid derivative based on their structure and the effects of substituents. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Acid Derivatives**: - Acyl Chloride (RCOCl) - Anhydride (RCOOR') - Ester (RCOOR) - Amide (RCONH2) 2. **Analyze the Electrophilicity**: - **Acyl Chloride**: The presence of chlorine (a good leaving group) increases the electrophilicity of the carbonyl carbon, making it highly reactive towards nucleophiles. - **Anhydride**: Anhydrides have two carbonyl groups, and the electron-withdrawing nature of the carbonyl increases the electrophilicity, making them reactive but less so than acyl chlorides. - **Ester**: Esters have an alkoxy group (OR) which donates electron density through +I effect, reducing the electrophilicity of the carbonyl carbon, thus they are less reactive than anhydrides. - **Amide**: Amides have a nitrogen atom with a lone pair that can participate in resonance with the carbonyl, which significantly decreases the electrophilicity of the carbonyl carbon, making amides the least reactive among these derivatives. 3. **Rank the Reactivity**: - Based on the above analysis, we can rank the reactivity of the acid derivatives in terms of their hydrolysis: - **Most Reactive**: Acyl Chloride (RCOCl) - **Next**: Anhydride (RCOOR') - **Then**: Ester (RCOOR) - **Least Reactive**: Amide (RCONH2) 4. **Final Order of Hydrolysis**: - The order of hydrolysis among the acid derivatives is: 1. Acyl Chloride (most reactive) 2. Anhydride 3. Ester 4. Amide (least reactive) ### Final Answer: The order of hydrolysis among acid derivatives is: **Acyl Chloride > Anhydride > Ester > Amide** ---
