Chapter 22, Problem 22.11P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The reason why trichloroacetic anhydride [(Cl3CCO)2O] is more reactive than acetic anhydride [(CH3CO)2O] in nucleophilic acyl substitution reactions is to be explained.

Concept introduction: Carboxylic acids and its derivatives undergo nucleophilic acyl substitution. The reaction involves replacement of leaving group (Z) by the attacking nucleophile (:Nu) or HNu: (neutral). The reactivity of nucleophilic substitution reaction increases with increase in electron withdrawing group and decreases with increase in number of electron releasing groups.
