1.	Which of the following undergoes exterification with acetic acid at the fastest rate ?A. `(CH_(3))_(2)CHOH`B. `CH_(3)CH_(2)OH`C. `CH_(3)OH`D. `(CH_(3))_(3)COH`
Answer» Correct Answer - C The presence of bulky or large groups near the site of reaction , whether in the alcohol or in the acid, slows down esterification (as well as its reverse hydrolysis). Thus , reactivity in esterification follows the order: `CH_(3)OH gt 1^(@) gt 2^(@) gt 3^(@)` `HCOOH gtCH_(3)COOH gtRCH_(2)COOHgtR_(2)CHCOOHgtR_(3)C COOH`
