Out of C₆H₅CH₂Cl and C₆H₅CHClC₆H₅, which is more easily hydrolysed by aqueous KOH?

Open in App

Solution

Hydrolysis by aqueous KOH proceeds through the formation of carbocation. If carbocation is stable, then the compound is easily hydrolyzed by aqueous KOH. Now, forms 1°-carbocation, while forms 2°-carbocation, which is more stable than 1°-carbocation. Hence, is hydrolyzed more easily than by aqueous KOH.
