Which of the aldehyde is most reactive

Answer»

`C_(6)H_(5)-CHO`
`CH_(3)CHO`
`HCHO`
All the equally reactive

Solution :AMONG Carbonyl Compounds, reactivity decrease with INCREASE in alkyl groups as alkyl groups `(+I` effect) decrease positive character on C-atom. Thus, the correct order of reactivity is, `HCHO gt CH_(3)CHO gt C_(6)H_(5)CHO`
