Which of the following is most reactive in hydrolysis?(a) Butyryl bromide(b) Benzoyl chloride(c) Acetic anhydride(d) Acetyl chlorideThe question was asked in an internship interview.The question is from Hydrolysing Agents topic in chapter Hydrolysis of Unit Processes

Answer»

Correct option is (d) Acetyl CHLORIDE

To explain I would SAY: Here acetyl chloride is more reactive than acetic anhydride, acetyl chloride is more readily hydrolysed than butyryl bromide. Benzoyl chloride, however, REACTS with less readiness than acetyl chloride, despite the greater STRENGTH (dissociation) of benzoic ACID.
