1 Aldehydes Ketones and Carboxylic Acids
In nucleophilic addition reactions the reactivity of carbonyl compound follows order 1) H2C=O >R2C=O > Ar2C = O > RCHO > ArCHO 2) H2C=O > RCHO > ArCHO > Ar2C = O 3) Ar2C = O > R2C=O > ArCHO > H2C=O 4) ArCHO > Ar2C = O > RCHO > R2C=O > H2C=O
Aldehydes are more reactive than ketones twards nucleophilic addition reaction. Aromatic aldehydes and ketones are less reactive than corresponding aliphatic aldehydes and ketones.
