In organic chemistry, the reactivity of carbonyl compounds toward nucleophilic attack is influenced by electronic and steric factors.
Which of the following lists a set of carbonyl-containing functional groups in order of decreasing reactivity?
- Acid Chloride > Aldehyde > Ketone > Ester > Amide
- Amide > Ester > Ketone > Aldehyde > Acid Chloride
- Acid Chloride > Anhydride > Aldehyde > Ketone > Amide
- Aldehyde > Ketone > Acid Chloride > Amide > Anhydride
