Both carbonyl compounds and acid derivatives though they contain grouping yet the reactions given by them are entirely different. As Aldehydes and Ketones give addition product with a nucleophile, while carboxylic acid derivatives give nucleophilic acyl substitution through addition/elimination mechanism. Where `X- = -Cl - O-overset(O)overset(||)C-R-OR, -NR(R)` etc. Why aldeydes and Ketones give nucleophilic addition reaction while acid derivatives prefer nucleophilic acyl substititution reaction?A. Carbonyl carbon of aldehyde and Ketones are more electron deficient than acid derivativesB. Carbonyl carbon of acid derivatives are more electron deficient.C. Acid derivatives also give addition reactionD. In acid derivatives, acyl carbon is connected with a good leaving group |
