MCQ - 483-2669

Question:

Ketones are comparatively less reactive than aldehdye. It is due to

  1. alkyl groups are electron donating
  2. steric hindrance
  3. both (a) and (b)
  4. steric hindrance

Correct Answer: C

Explanation:

ketones are sterically hindered than aldehydes, due to presence of alkyl group on both the side of the carbonyl carbon, making them less reactive towards nucleophilic attack because both alkyl groups has electron releasing tendency due to -I effect. These alkyl groups make ketone less reactive by donating electron to carbonyl group.
