Explain:
(i)The treatment of alkyl chlorides with aqKOH leads to the formation of alcohols,but in the presence of alcoholic KOH,alkenes are formed.
(ii)Out of C6H5CH2Cl and C6H5ClC6H5 which is more easily hydrolysed by aqKOH and why?

Expert Answer
(1) Alkyl chloride in presence of aqueous KOH gives the substituted product. In an aqueous solution, KOH completely ionizes to give hydroxide ions. OH- ion is a strong nucleophile, which can easily substitute the strong leaving chloride ion and leads to the formation of alcohol.
On other hand alkyl chloride containing β-hydrogen atom with alcoholic KOH solution undergo elimination reaction to give alkene as a major products. An alcoholic solution of KOH produce alkoxide (RO- ) ion, which is a strong base. It can easily abstract a β-carbon of alkyl chloride and form an alkene as a major product.
