Allyl chloride is hydrlysed more readily than n-propyl chloride. Why? |
Answer» Solution :In `S_(N)1` reactions, carbocations are the intermediates. OBVIOUSLY more stable the carbocation, more reactive is the alkyl halide. Since ALLYL chloride upon ionization gives allyl cation which is stabilized by RESONANCE but the carbocation obtained from n-propyl chloride is not, therefore, allyl chloride UNDERGOES hydrolysis MUCH faster than n-propyl chloride.
