The increasing order of the reactivity of the following

Question:

The increasing order of the reactivity of the following with $\mathrm{LiAlH}_{4}$ is :

  1. $(B)<(A)<(C)<(D)$

  2. $(B)<(A)<(D)<(C)$

  3. $(\mathrm{A})<(\mathrm{B})<(\mathrm{D})<(\mathrm{C})$

  4. $(A)<(B)<(C)<(D)$


Correct Option: , 3

Solution:

The reactivity order of carboxylic acid derivatives depends on the electrophilicity of the carbonyl carbon and Leaving ability of the four groups is
