Which of the following is most reactive towards nucleophilic substitution reaction?

Options:

Answer:

Solution:

The order of reactivity of acid derivatives towards different reactions decreases in the order,

$R C O C l > (R C O)_{2} O > R C O O R^{'} > R C O N H_{2}$

In other words, the reactivity decreases as the basicity of the leaving group increases i.e.,

$C l^{-} < R C O O^{-} < R O^{-} < N H_{2}^{-}$
