Nucleophilic addition reaction will be most favoured in which among the following compounds?
Options
- ACH ₃ CH ₂ CHO
- BCH ₃ CHO
Correct answer
B. CH ₃ CHO
Step-by-step solution
(i) Aldehyde and ketone which are less hindered at carboxyl carbon show nucleophilic addition reaction at high rate. (ii) Presence of electron donating groups at carbonyl carbon decrease the rate. Nucleophilic addition reaction will be most favored in CH ₃ CHO .
