Answer 2

Answer :

$CH_{2} CL$  will react fastest with aqueous $N_{a}OH$

Explanation :

• The formula $CH_{2} CL$   is correct because it produces a stable carbocation that is stabilized by resonance.

• From the options provided, we must select the most reactive chloride towards aqueous NaOH. Chloromethyl is the first. CH2Cl is the organic compound with the formula for chloromethyl. Methyl alcohol and sodium chloride are formed when chloromethyl interacts with sodium hydroxide. It gives a stable carbocation which is stabilized by Resonance.
