Q.
The ease of hydrolysis with an alkali in the compounds
$CH_{3}COCl$ $CH_{3}CO - O - COCH_{3}$
I II
$CH_{3}COOC_{2}H_{5}$ $CH_{3}CONH_{2}$
III IV
Is of the order
A) I>II>III>IV
B) IV>III>II>I
C) I>II>IV>III
D) II>I>IV>III
Explanation
(a)
The order of the acidic characters of acid derivative or their ease of hydrolysis with alkali is given below :
$CH_{3}COCl > CH_{3}CO - O - COCH_{3} > CH_{3}COOC_{2}H_{5} > CH_{3}CONH_{2}$
