QAIPMT-2006-Ch-2396: NEET 2006 Chemistry - Class 12 AIPMT-2006-Ch-2396 Solution: Nucleophilic addition reaction will be most favoured in

Aldehydes are more reactive than ketones due to +I effect of �CH 3 group. There are two �CH 3 group in acetone which reduces +ve charge density on carbon atom of carbonyl group. More hindered carbonyl group too becomes less reactive. So in the given case CH 3 CHO is the right choice.
