Question

Benzyl chloride undergoes sn reaction more readily tgan chlorobenzene

Answer 1

Answer:

Hey mate here is your answer.

Benzyl chloride undergoes SN1 reaction much more easily than chlorobenzene? For benzyl carbocations are much more stable than phenyl carbocations. The former can conjugate with pi electrons on the benzene ring, but the latter cannot. Benzyl chloride is more reactive than chlorobenzene.

Hope it help you...

Answer 2

Hey mates your answer is here

The lone pair of chlorine atom is delocalised over the conjugate double bond ring of benzene which adds a double bond character to the C-Cl bond of chlorobenzene which makes the bond shorter and stronger.so the hydrolysis becomes difficult while in alkly halides i.e methyl chloride ,there is a single bond and polarity .
