- B IV > III > II > I
- C I > II > IV > III
- D III > II > I > IV
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) I > III > II > IV
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The correct order of reactivity for the addition reaction of the given carbonyl compounds with ethylmagnesium iodide is \(1>111>11>\mathrm{IV}\) This order can be explained on the basis of following two factors: (i) Inductive effect Greater the number of alkyl (electron…
