The general order of reactivity of carbonyl compounds for nucleophilic addition reactions is -

A

`H_(2)C = O gt (CH_(3))_(2) C = O gt Ar_(2) C = O gt CH_(3)CHO gt ArCHO`

B

`H_(2)C = O gt CH_(3)CHO gt (CH_(3))_(2) C = O gt ArCHO gt Ar_(2)C = O`

C

`ArCHO gt Ar_(2)C = O gt CH_(3)CHO gt (CH_(3))_(2) C = O gt H_(2)C = O`

D

`Ar_(2)C = O gt (CH_(3))_(2)C = O gt ArCHO gt CH_(3)CHO gt H_(2)C = O`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
As steric hinderance increases around carbonyl group, the rate of nucleophilic addition reaction decreases.
