The correct decreasing order of ease of acid catalysed estrification is :

Answer»

`CH_(3)[CH_(2)]_(3)OH gt CH_(3)CH_(2)C(OH)CH_(3) gt (CH)_(3)COH`
`CH_(3)C(OH)C_(2)H_(5) gt CH_(3)[CH_(2)]_(3)OH gt (CH_(3))_(3)COH`
`(CH_(3))_(3)COH gt CH_(3)CH_(2)C(OH)CH_(3) gt CH_(3)[CH_(2)]_(3)OH`
None of these is correct

Solution :ESTERIFICATION of alcohols INVOLVE the cleavage of `RO-H` BOND. The roder of reactivity in this reaction is `1^(@) gt 2^(@) gt 3^(@)`.
