Allyl chloride is hydrolysed more readil...

Allyl chloride is hydrolysed more readily than n-propyl chloride. Why ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

In `S_(N)1` reactions, carbocations are the intermediates. Obviously more stable the carbocation, more reactive is the alkyl halide. Since allyl chloride upon ionization gives allyl cation which is stabilized by resonance but the carbocation obtained from n-propyl chloride is not, therefore, allyl chloride undergoes hydrolysis much faster than n-propyl chloride.
