<h3><u>Full Question:</u></h3>
The following compound has been found effective in treating pain and inflammation (J. Med. Chem. 2007, 4222). Which sequence correctly ranks each carbonyl group in order of increasing reactivity toward nucleophilic addition?
A) 1 < 2 < 3
B) 2 < 3 < 1
C) 3 < 1 < 2
D) 1 < 3 < 2
<h3><u>Answer: </u></h3>The rate of nucleophilic attack of carbonyl compounds is 2<3 <1.
Option B
<h3><u>Explanation. </u></h3>Nucleophilic attack is explained as the attack of an electron rich radical to a carbonyl compound like aldehyde or a ketone. A nucleophile has a high electron density, so it searches for a electropositive atom where it can donate a portion of its electron density and become stable.
A carbonyl compound is a hybridized carbon atom with a double bonded oxygen atom in it. The oxygen atom pulls a huge portion of electron density from carbon being very electropositive.
In a ketone, there are two factors that make it less likely to undergo a nucleophilic attack than aldehyde. Firstly, the steric hindrance of two carbon groups being attached with the carbonyl carbon makes it harder for the nucleophile to approach. Secondly, the electron push by the carbon groups attached makes the carbonyl carbon a bit less electropositive than the aldehyde one. So aldehydes are more reactive towards a nucleophilic addition reaction.
Answer : The correct option is, (D)
Explanation :
(A)
This reaction is a double displacement reaction in which the cation and anion of two reactants are exchange their places to give two different products.
(B)
This reaction is a decomposition reaction in which the larger molecule decomposes to give two or more products.
(C)
This reaction is a neutralization reaction in which an acid and a base react to give a salt and water as a product.
(D)
This reaction is a redox reaction in which the oxidation and reduction reaction occur simultaneously.
Oxidation reaction is the reaction in which a substance looses its electrons. In this oxidation state increases.
Reduction reaction is the reaction in which a substance gains electrons. In this oxidation state decreases.
In this reaction, magnesium shows oxidation due to change in oxidation number from (0) to (+2) and hydrogen shows reduction due to change in oxidation number from (-1) to (0).
Hence, the correct option is, (D)
