Aldehydes and ketones ar specially susecptible to nucleophilic addition because carbonyl group is polar (due to electronegativity difference between carbon and oxygen) Positive charge on carbon makes it reactive towards the nucleophili. This addition is catalysed by acid. Reactivity of carbonyl compound towards nucleophilic addition increases with increases in the electron deficiency at carbonyl carbon. Thus, (-I.E.)groups increase while (+I.E.) groups decrease the reactivity of carbonyl compound. Which among the following is most reactive to give nucleophilic addtion ?A. `FCH_(2)CHO`B. `ClCH_(2)CHO`C. `BrCH_(2)CHO`D. `ICH_(2)CHO`

A carbonyl compound reacts with hydrogen cyanide to form cyanohydrin which on hydrolysis forms a recemic mixrture of `alpha`-hydroxy acid. The carbonyl compound `D`.A. FormaldehydeB. acetaldehydeC. acetoneD. diethyl ketone.

Answer» Correct Answer - B
Acetaldehyde cyanohydrin `(CH_(3)CH(OH)CN)` and lactic acid `(CH_(3)"CHOH COOH")` which it gives on hydrolyses contain a chiral carbon and hence exist as a racemic mixture. All the other compounds are symmetrical and hence their cyanohydrins and the corresponding `alpha`-hydroxy acids are not optically active because they do contain a chiral carbon.
