Ethyl trichloroacetate is significantly more reactive toward hydrolysis than ethyl acetate. Explain this observation. The three chlorine atoms withdraw electron density via induction. This effect renders the carbonyl group less electrophilic. The three chlorine atoms add electron density via induction. This effect renders the carbonyl group less electrophilic.
