The correct order of reactivity for the addition reaction of the following carbonyl compounds with ethyl magnesium iodide is

Options:

Answer:
D
Solution:

If the carbony carbonyl is stericaly crowded, then it will be reluctant to undergo addition reaction. Moreover, attachment of bulkier alkyl groups with the carbonyl carbon lessens its positive charge resulting into the minimisation of attack byR-⋅⋅from RMgBr. So, the order is
