Identify the major product of the following reaction:

Step-by-step solution

The given reactant contains three different types of carbon-chlorine bonds: 1. Vinylic chlorines: The chlorine atoms attached to the C=C double bond. 2. Bridgehead chlorines: The chlorine atoms attached to the bridgehead carbons of the bicyclic system. 3. Geminal chlorines: The two chlorine atoms attached to the same sp^3 hybridized carbon on the cyclopentane ring (gem-dichloro group). We must evaluate the reactivity of each type of C-Cl bond towards nucleophilic substitution by aqueous NaOH (hydrolysis): Vinylic h
