Question

most reactive aldehyde in C6H5_CHO and CH3CHO and HCHO​

Answer 1

Answer:

Secondly , CH3 group in acetaldehyde decreases the positive charge on cabonyl carbon by +I effect to some extect which is not so in the case of formaldehyde, Since , Nu attack is favourable with more positive charge and less hinderance at carbonyl carbon , hence we conclude that formaldehyde is more reactive than ...
