Nucleophilic addition reaction will be most favoured in
A
B
C
D
Answer :
The carbonyl compounds undergo nucleophilic addition reaction because oxygen is more electronegative than carbon. As such, it withdraws shared $$\pi $$ - electron pair towards itself and gets partial negative charge, therefore carbon get partial positive charge and becomes susceptible to nucleophilic attack.
Aldehydes are more reactive than ketones towards nucleophiles. This can be explained on the basis of inductive effect as well as steric effect. The addition of nucleophiles is based upon the positive charge present on carbon atom of group. In aldehyde group is present with at least one alkyl group ( except formaldehyde ) which has $$ + I$$ - effect ( electron donating effect ) and which decreases the positive charge of carbon, thereby making the attack to nucleophile difficult. The nucleophilic attack becomes more difficult in ketones having minimum of two alkyl groups.
Hence, by means of attachment of alkyl groups ( due to $$ + I$$ - effect ) rate of nucleophilic addition decreases. That means $${e^ - }$$ density at $$C$$ - atom decreases, nucleophilic addition reaction increases.
Order of $$ + I$$ - effect in alkyl group
Order of nucleophilic addition in given carbonyl compound is
140.
