Out of benzaldehyde and propionaldehyde, which is mre reactive towards

1.	Out of benzaldehyde and propionaldehyde, which is mre reactive towards nucelophilic addition?
Answer» Propionadehyde is more reactive than benzaldehyde towards nucleophilic addition. Actually, in benzaldehyde the aldehyic group has -M (mesomeric) effect. As a result the electron density on the carbonyl carbon atom tends to increase and the nucleophile attack is more difficult as compared to propionaldehyde where alkyl group is attached to the aldehydic group.
