Explain the following:
Chloroform is chlorine compound but it fails to react with silver nitrate solution.
Chloroform has a stronger bond with the halogen Cl and does not easily hydrolyse to provide Cl-ions. Hence, it fails to react with silver nitrate solution.
Explain the following:
Methyl chloride is hydrolysed more readily than chlorobenzene.
What happens when (Give equations):
Chloroform is warmed with aniline in the presence of alc. KOH?
