What happens whenchlorobenzene is subjected to hydrolysis,

Answer»

SOLUTION :Chlorobenzene will not undergo hydrolysis READILY due to partial double bond CHARACTER of C - Cl bond because of resonance. HOWEVER, it can be hydrolysed to phenol under extreme Conditions of 623 K and 300 ATM pressure. The hydrolysis becomes easy if any electron withdrawing group is present at o - or p - positions.
