NEET 2008 Chemistry question
The relative reactivities of acyl compounds towards nucleophilic substitution are in the order of
Answer: (2)
Solution
In nucleophilic acyl substitution the rate depends on the quality of the leaving group: the weaker the base, the better the leaving group (weaker bases are conjugate bases of stronger acids), and also on the electron donation to the carbonyl carbon. Leaving groups: (weakest base) >
