What influences reaction rate (nucleophilic substitution)

Hey!

Reagents and mechanism are found in the attachment.

The question asks me to draw the structure of any different carbonyl compound that would react more slowly with 3 to yield the same product.

Perhaps a simple question but I'm a little stuck here. I am confident that I will have to change the leaving group for the rate of reaction to change (and to have the same product) but I don't know what to look for in terms of slowing down the rate.

Thank you!
