NEETChemistryAldehydes and Ketones
Which factors will increase the reactivity of ( C = O ) group? (i) Presence of a group with positive inductive effect (ii) Presence of a group with (-ve) inductive effect (iii) Presence of large alkyl group
Options
- AOnly (i)
- BOnly (ii)
- CBoth (i) & (iii)
- DBoth (ii) & (iii)
Correct answer
B. Only (ii)
Step-by-step solution
If (Z ) is ((-1) ) effect group, then reactivity will increases because such gp increases more partial the charge density on carboxyl carbon. Which inhances nucleophilic substitution (SN) reaction and nucleophilic addition reaction.
