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

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Allyl chloride shows high reactivity because of its ability to undergo hydrolysis via `S_(N)1` pathway involving a more stable carbocation (stabilised by resonance) intermediate. On the other hand, carbocation derived from n-propyl chloride is not stabilised by resonance. Thus, allyl chloride is hydrolysed more readily than n-propyl chloride.
