Interpretation:
To arrange the given amides in decreasing order of reactivity towards acid-catalyzed hydrolysis reaction.
Concept introduction:
The normal reaction of an amide with water does not give good yield of product. As amides are least reactive
The reaction of water and amides in presence of acid gives a carboxylic acid as a product. The reaction eqaution is written as,
The reactivity of amide also depends upon the leaving tendency of amine part from acyl group. The weaker the base better will be the leaving group. The basicity of
