Short Answer TypeExplain the following:
Chloroform is chlorine compound but it fails to react with silver nitrate solution.
Explain the following:
Methyl chloride is hydrolysed more readily than chlorobenzene.
The lone pair of chlorine atom is delocalised over the conjugated double bond ring of benzene which adds a double bond character to the C-Cl bond of the chlorobenzene which makes the bond shorter, so hydrolysed becomes difficult while in alkyl halides methyl chloride there is a single bond and polarity too which is easily hydrolyzed.
What happens when (Give equations):
Chloroform is warmed with aniline in the presence of alc. KOH?
