Nucleophilic addition reaction will be most favoured in
- ACH3CHO
- B

- C(CH3)2C O
- DCH3CH2CHO
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: A
Aldehydes are more reactive than ketones due to +I effect of –CH3 group. There are two –CH3 group in acetone which reduces +ve charge density on carbon atom of carbonyl group. More hindered carbonyl group too becomes less reactive. So in the given case CH3CHO is the right choice.
