Question
Acyl chlorides are the most reactive carbonyl because ____
Answer
Acyl chlorides are the most reactive carbonyl because the chloride pulls/withdraws electron density away from the already partially positive carbon.
Note: Acyl chlorides are the most reactive carbonyl because the chloride pulls electron density away from the already partially positive carbon. Conversely, the nitrogen in an amide donates electron density to the partially positive carbonyl carbon, stabilizing the carbonyl. This makes amides the least reactive carboxylic acid derivative.
