    Reactivity of acid derivatives towards acyl substitution reaction is

    A)  \[RCOC1\text{ }<\text{ }(RC{{O}_{2}}\text{)O }<\text{ }RCOOR\text{ }<\text{ }RCON{{H}_{2}}\]

    B)  \[RCOC1\text{  }{{(RCO\text{)}}_{2}}\text{O  }RCOOR\text{  }RCON{{H}_{2}}\]

    C)  \[RCOC1\text{ }>\text{ }RCOOR\text{ }>\text{ }{{(RCO)}_{2}}O\text{ }>\text{ }RCON{{H}_{2}}\]

    D)  \[RCOC1\text{ }>\text{ }RCOOR\text{ }>\text{ }(RCON{{H}_{2}}\text{ }>\text{ (}RCO{{)}_{2}}O\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                     The reactivity of acid derivatives towards nucleophilic acyl substitution reactions decreases in the following order \[RCOCl>{{(RCO)}_{2}}O>RCOOR>RCON{{H}_{2}}\] as the basicity of the leaving group increases as ie,\[C\,{{l}^{-}}<RCO{{O}^{-}}<R{{O}^{-}}<NH_{2}^{-}\]
