Question

Choose the correct alternatives from the following. (A) Benzyl chloride undergoes rapid solvolysis than chlorobenzene (B) 2-phenyl-1-chloroethane undergoes slower solvolysis than chlorobenzene (C) Allyl chloride is more rapid than butyl chloride towards solvolysis (D) Order of solvolysis of various halogen containing compounds

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

The more stable the carbocation, more reactive is the corresponding alkyl or aryl halide towards solvolysis. Therefore, order of solvolysis is
