    Which of the aldehyde is most reactive?

    A)  \[{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}-CHO\]

    B)  \[C{{H}_{3}}CHO\]

    C)  \[HCHO\]

    D)  All are equally reactive

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                    Among   carbonyl   compounds   reactivity decreases with increases in alkyl groups as alkyh groups (\[+I\] effect) decreases positive character on C-atoms. Thus, the correct order of reactivity is: \[HCHO>C{{H}_{3}}CHO>{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}CHO\]
