a. A>B>D>C b. B>C>A>D c. A>D>C>B d. D>A>C>B Correct Answer: C Explanation: Lithium Aluminum hydride is very reactive; it will react with all of the carboxylic acid and its derivatives. Acid chloride is highly reactive, so that would be the first, so we can eliminate answer choices b and d. Looking at the choices, we have an ester, ketone, and aldehyde. Out of the three, aldehyde is more reactive so that will take second place. Ketone will take third and ester will be the least reactive in this order of ranking.
The OH on the other carbon would be left alone. Choice A does not make sense, because only a carboxylic acid can change into an acid chloride with SOCl2.
