The relative reactivity of acyl compounds towards nucleophilic substitution is in the order of:

1. Acyl chloride > Acid anhydride > Ester > Amide

2. Ester > Acyl Chloride > Amide > Acid anhydride

3. Acid anhydride > amide > Ester > Acyl chloride

4. Acyl chloride > Ester > Acid anhydride > Amide
