1.

The correct order of reactivity for the addition reaction of the following carbonyl compounds with ethylmagnesium iodide is(A) I > III > II > IV (B) IV > III > II > I (C) I > II > IV > III (D) III > II > I > IV

Answer»

The correct option (A) I > III > II > IV

Explanation:

Reactivity order for nucleophilic addition reaction is

H–CHO > CH3–CHO > (CH3)2CO > [C(CH3)3]2CO

Reactivit ∝ 1/Steric crowding
