What is the correct order of reactivity of alcohols with a given haloacid? |
1° > 2° > 3° 3° > 2° > 1° 1° > 3° > 2° 2° > 1° > 3° |
3° > 2° > 1° |
When more number of electron donating groups are bonded to the C atom attached to the OH group, the polarity of C-OH bond increases. Thus, the reactivity of the alcohol increases. |
