Solution
The correct option is B2>3>1 Reactivity of grignard-reagents towards carbonyl compounds is high for aldehydes. Compared to ketones because of less steric hindrance in aldehydes. Aldehyde(very less steric) > Ketone(less steric) > Ketone(high steric hindrance) CH3−CHO>(CH3)2CO>(C6H5)2CO [Reactivity]
