Chapter 16, Problem 71P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The most and least reactive towards nucleophilic addition has to be identified from the given compounds.
Concept introduction:
The relative reactivity of carbonyl groups:
Carbonyl group is polar because oxygen is more electronegative than the carbon. As results carbonyl group is a electron deficient and it is an electrophile.
