Explain : C_(6)H_(5)CHClCH_(3) is hydrolysed more easily with KOH than C_(6)H_(5)CH_(2)Cl. |
Answer» Solution : SECONDARY BENZYLIC halide Primary benzylic halide Secondary benzylic carbocation can stabilise itself more than primary benzylic carbocation because of addition inductive effect of` - CH_(3)` GROUP. It neutralises the `+ ve `charge on the carbocation. Of course stabilisation through resonance is common to both.  THEREFORE, `C_(6)H_(5)CHClCH_(3)` ishydrolysed moreeasily than `C_(6)H_(5)CH_(2)Cl " with " KOH` . |
