Aldehydes Ketones and Carboxylic Acids question

2010 · Q99

NEETChemistryAldehydes Ketones and Carboxylic AcidsMCQ+4 / −1
Among the given compounds, the most susceptible to nucleophilic attack at the carbonyl group is
  1. A
    CH3COOCH3
  2. B
    CH3CONH2
  3. C
    CH3COOCOCH3
  4. D
    CH3COCl
View written solutionFree

Correct answer: D

CH3COCl is most susceptible to nucleophilic attack. The susceptibility of a substrate towards nucleophilic attack depends on how good a leaving group is attached to it. Cl– is a weak base and therefore a good leaving group.
