MCQ
Which is most reactive of the following
  • A
    Ethyl acetate
  • B
    Acetic anhydride
  • C
    Acetamide
  • Acetyl chloride

Answer

Correct option: D.
Acetyl chloride
d
(d) The order of reactivity of acid derivatives towards different reactions decreases in the order,

$RCOCl > {(RCO)_2}O > RCOOR' > RCON{H_2}$

In other words, the reactivity decreases as the basicity of the leaving group increases i.e.,

$C{l^ - } < RCO{O^ - } < R{O^ - } < NH_2^ - $
