Consider the following compounds
The correct decreasing order of their reactivity towards hydrolysis is
The correct decreasing order of their reactivity towards hydrolysis is
- A(i) > (ii) > (iii) > (iv)
- B(iv) > (ii) > (i) > (iii)
- C(ii) > (iv) > (i) > (iii)
- D(ii) > (iv) > (iii) > (i)
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: C
The ease of hydrolysis depends upon the
magnitude of the +ve charge on the carbonyl group.
Electron-withdrawing groups increase the
magnitude of positive charge and electron donating
groups decrease the magnitude of positive charge.
Hence, the decreasing order of reactivity towards
hydrolysis is
(ii) > (iv) > (i) > (iii)
