Vedclass · Answer

(D) Grignard's reagents $(RMgX)$ are strong bases and react rapidly with any compound containing an active hydrogen atom (acidic proton). The reactivity towards Grignard's reagent depends on the acidity of the compound. The order of acidity for the given compounds is: $CH_3SO_3H > CH_3COOH > CH_3OH > H_2O$. Since $CH_3SO_3H$ (methanesulfonic acid) is the strongest acid among the given options,it has the most acidic proton and is therefore the most reactive towards the Grignard's reagent.

Which of the following compounds is most reactive towards Grignard's reagent?
