    The increasing order of the rate of HCN addition to compound A-D is
    A. HCHO         
    B. \[C{{H}_{3}}COC{{H}_{3}}\]
    C. \[PhCOC{{H}_{3}}\]
    D. \[PhCOPh\]

    A)  \[A<B<C<D\]   

    B)  \[D<B<C<A\]

    C)  \[D<C<B<A\]   

    D)  \[C<D<B<A\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Addition of HCN is nucleophilic addition. Greater the electron deficiency of carbonyl group higher the rate of reaction. Hence, the order is as \[Ph-\overset{O}{\mathop{\overset{||}{\mathop{C}}\,}}\,-Ph<Ph-\overset{O}{\mathop{\overset{||}{\mathop{C}}\,}}\,-C{{H}_{3}}<C{{H}_{3}}-\overset{O}{\mathop{\overset{||}{\mathop{C}}\,}}\,-C{{H}_{3}}<H-\overset{O}{\mathop{\overset{||}{\mathop{C}}\,}}\,-H\]
