Out of the following which is most and least reactive towards nucleophilic substitution respectively?
CH3CO∣∣OCH2−CH3,CH3−CO∣∣−Cl{\text{C}}{{\text{H}}_3}\mathop {\text{C}}\limits^{\begin{array}{cccccccccccccccccccc} {\text{O}} \\ {||} \end{array}} {\text{OC}}{{\text{H}}_2} - {\text{C}}{{\text{H}}_3}, {\text{C}}{{\text{H}}_3} - \mathop {\text{C}}\limits^{\begin{array}{cccccccccccccccccccc} {\text{O}} \\ {||} \end{array}} - {\text{Cl}}

CH3−CO∣∣−NH−CH3,CH3−CO∣∣−O−CO∣∣−CH3{\text{C}}{{\text{H}}_3} - \mathop {\text{C}}\limits^{\begin{array}{cccccccccccccccccccc} {\text{O}} \\ {||} \end{array}} - {\text{NH}} - {\text{C}}{{\text{H}}_3}, {\text{C}}{{\text{H}}_3} - \mathop {\text{C}}\limits^{\begin{array}{cccccccccccccccccccc} {\text{O}} \\ {||} \end{array}} - {\text{O}} - \mathop {\text{C}}\limits^{\begin{array}{cccccccccccccccccccc} {\text{O}} \\ {||} \end{array}} - {\text{C}}{{\text{H}}_3}
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
CH3COCl,CH3CONHCH3\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{COCl}, \mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{CONHCH}_3
Option D (CH3COCl,CH3CONHCH3\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{COCl}, \mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{CONHCH}_3) is correct because acid chlorides are the most reactive towards nucleophilic substitution, and amides are the least reactive.
