(b)
Interpretation:
The compound that is more reactive in carbonyl-addition reactions is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
The addition of organolithium compounds to aldehyde and ketones rapidly in the presence of acidic or basic catalyst is known as carbonyl-addition reactions. The different types of nucleophiles add up to the carbonyl compound. The highly Lewis acidic compound is more reactive towards this addition reaction.
