Welcome dear,
● Answer -
Benzyl chloride
● Explanation -
- In benzyl chloride, C-Cl bond is relatively weak which makes its substitution of Cl easier. Thus, it readily reacts with NaOH to give methoxy benzene.
C6H5-CH2-Cl + NaOH ---> C6H5-CH2-OH + NaCl
- In chlorobenzene, C-Cl bond has partial double bond character which makes substitution of Cl difficult. Thus, reaction with NaOH is hardly possible.
Hope this helps you...
