Explain why `Cl-CH_(2)-O-CH_(2)-CH_(3)` is hydrolysed more rapidly than `CH_(3)-O-CH_(2)-CH_(2)-Cl`.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To explain why `Cl-CH₂-O-CH₂-CH₃` is hydrolyzed more rapidly than `CH₃-O-CH₂-CH₂-Cl`, we need to analyze the stability of the carbocation intermediates formed during the hydrolysis process. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Hydrolysis Mechanism**: - Hydrolysis of alkyl halides generally occurs via the SN1 mechanism, which involves two main steps: 1. Formation of a carbocation intermediate after the leaving group (Cl) departs. 2. Nucleophilic attack by water on the carbocation to form the alcohol. ...
