This is a general Organic Chemistry question. How do the reactivities of the following compare?
Acyl Chlorides, Esters, Anhydrides, Amides, Ketones, Aldehydes
I know the following "ladder:"
MOST REACTIVE
acyl chloride
anhydride
ester
amide
LEAST REACTIVE
I know also that aldehydes are more reactive than ketones. However, where do those two fit in according to the ladder layout?
Thank you!
