Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
The order of reactivity of acid derivatives towards different reactions decreases in the order,
`RCOCl gt (RCO)_(2)O gt RCOOR' gt RCONH_(2)` In other words, the reactivity decreases as the basicity of the leaving group increases i.e.,
`Cl^(-) lt RCOO^(-) lt RO^(-) lt NH_(2)^(-)`
