Among the given compounds, the most susceptible to nucleophilic attack at the carbonyl group is:

A

`CH_(3)COCl`

B

`CH_(3)COOCH_(3)`

C

`CH_(3)CONH_(2)`

D

`CH_(3)COOCOCH_(3)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
`CH_(3)-underset(O)underset(||)C-Cl` has more bond length of C − Cl bond due to big size of Cl
∴ more reactive compound.

Among the given compounds, the most susceptible to nucleophilic attack at the cabonyl group is:

Which of the following compounds is most susceptible to a nucleophilic attack at the carbonyl group?

The most susceptible compound to nucleophilic attack at the carboyl carbon among the given bellow is

Aldehydes and ketones ar specially susecptible to nucleophilic addition because carbonyl group is polar (due to electronegativity difference between carbon and oxygen) Positive charge on carbon makes it reactive towards the nucleophili. This addition is catalysed by acid. Reactivity of carbonyl compound towards nucleophilic addition increases with increases in the electron deficiency at carbonyl carbon. Thus, (-I.E.)groups increase while (+I.E.) groups decrease the reactivity of carbonyl compound. Which among the following is most reactive to give nucleophilic addtion ?
