    The reactivity sequence of carboxylic acid derivatives (acyl halides, anhydrides, acids, esters, amides) changes with the substituent. Acyl chlorides are most reactive, amides are least reactive. 1) Explain in detail why the reactivity changes in that sequence, 2) Where do carboxylates fit in that sequence and why? How does that impact on the way carboxylic acid reactions need to run? 3) Where do thioesters, RC(-O)SMe and acyl phosphates, RC(-O)OPO2OR fit in that sequence.
