NEETChemistryHaloalkanes and Haloarenes
Allyl chloride is hydrolysed more readily than n-propyl chloride. Why?
Options
- AAllyl chloride shows high reactivity as the carbocation formed by hydrolysis is stabilized by resonance while
- BAllyl chloride is less soluble in water.
- CAllyl chloride has a stronger carbon-chlorine bond.
- DAllyl chloride has a more polar carbon-chlorine bond.
Correct answer
A. Allyl chloride shows high reactivity as the carbocation formed by hydrolysis is stabilized by resonance while
Step-by-step solution
Correct Option is : (A) Allyl chloride shows high reactivity as the carbocation formed by hydrolysis is stabilized by resonance while no such stabilization of carbocation exists in the case of n-propyl chloride.
