The correct order of increasing rate of hydrolysis of the following compund is A. `I lt II lt III`B. `III lt II lt I`C. `I lt III lt II`D. `III lt I lt II` |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - B The rate determining step in the hydrolysis of an ester is bimolecular, the larger the R, greater will be the steric retardation since hybridisation of the carbonyl carbon changes from `sp^(2)` to `sp^(3)` (due to increased bonding). The order of increasing rate of hydrolysis is `III lt II lt I` |
