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 carbocations formed during the hydrolysis process, which proceeds via the SN1 mechanism. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Hydrolysis**: Hydrolysis is the reaction of a compound with water, resulting in the breakdown of that compound. In the case of alkyl halides, hydrolysis involves the substitution of the halogen atom (Cl in this case) by a hydroxyl group (-OH). 2. **Mechanism of Hydrolysis**: ...
