Options
- ABenzaldehyde > Butanone < Propanone < Propanal
- BButanone < Propanone < Benzaldehyde < Propanal
- CPropanal < Propanone < Butanone < Benzaldehyde
- DBenzaldehyde < Propanal < Propanone < Butanone
Correct answer
B. Butanone < Propanone < Benzaldehyde < Propanal
Step-by-step solution
Rate   of   NAR   α   - I , - M   group   attache   to   carbonyl   carbon Moreover aldehydes are more reactive than ketones.
