The ease of hydrolysis with an alkali in the compounds

\begin{array}{l} \mathrm{C}{\mathrm{H}_3}\mathrm{COClC}{\mathrm{H}_3}\;\mathrm{CO} - \mathrm{O} - \mathrm{COC}{\mathrm{H}_3}\\ \;I\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;II\\ \mathrm{C}{\mathrm{H}_3}\mathrm{COO}{\mathrm{C}_2}{\mathrm{H}_5}\mathrm{C}{\mathrm{H}_3}\mathrm{CON}{\mathrm{H}_2}\\ \;III\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;IV \end{array}

Is of the order

View answer and explanation

Correct option: A

I>II>III>IV

Option A (I>II>III>IV) is correct because acid chlorides are most reactive towards hydrolysis, followed by anhydrides, esters, and amides.
