plz explain from pictures which I have sent u
and acid anhydrides), but are more reactive than carbonyl compounds in which Yis a relatively strong base (carboxylic acids, es- ters, and amides). A molecular orbitalexplanation of why resonance electron donation decreases the reactivity of the carbonyl group is given in Section 17.15.
As the resonance of Molecule increases the stability of that molecule also increases.
This increase in stability decreases its reactivity.
This is in case of aldehydes and ketones ...
