Which one of the foloowing compound will undergo hydrolysis at a faster rate by S_(N)1mechanism ? Justify .

Answer»

Solution : will UNDERGO `S_(N)1` REACTION faster .
Greater the stability of the carbocation , greater will be its ease of formation from the corresponding halide and faster will be the rate of reaction .
The benzylic carbocation formed gets stablished through resonance. 1

`CH_(3)CH_(2)CH_(2)Cl` forms a `1^(@)`carbocation , which is less stable than benzylic carbocation .
