Which of the following statements about benzyl chloride is incorrect?
- A It is a lachrymatory liquid and answers Beilstein's test.
- B It gives a white precipitate with alcoholic silver nitrate.
- C It is less reactive than alkyl halides.
- D It can be oxidised to benzaldehyde by boiling with copper nitrate solution.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) It is less reactive than alkyl halides.
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Benzyl chloride is more reactive than alkyl halides as benzyl carbocation is stabilised by resonance. Hence, it easily gives nucleophilic substitution reaction.
