Question

Aromatic aldehydes are less reactive than aliphatic aldehyde explain

Answer 1

Answer:

Hey mate....

On the other hand, an aliphatic aldehyde doesn't have that adjacency to an aromatic ring, so it doesn't have some resonance stabilization that makes the carbonyl carbon less acidic/electrophilic. Or, you could say that the aliphatic aldehyde "puts its water in only one glass".

Hope it helps you!!!!

Answer 2

In aliphatic compounds, the bonds between the carbon and hydrogen atoms are weak. it promotes the pi orbital overlap between the orbital of carbonyl carbon and the orbitals of the aromatic group.

Aliphatic aldehydes have no resonance stabilization.
