Which of the following is not expected to give ether on reaction with sodium methoxide?

A

`PhCH_(2)Cl`

B

`CH_(2)=CHCH_(2)Cl`

C

`CH_(2)=CHCl`

D

`CH_(3)CH_(2)CH_(2)Cl`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Vinyi chloride is least reactive towards nucleophilic displacement with sodium methoxide as its `C-Cl` bend is quite strong on account of double bond character due to resonance.

It also forms unstable vinyl cation, `CH_(2)=CH^(+)`
