    The substitution of chlorine becomes the most easiest in which of the following compound?

    A)  Chloro benzene  

    B)  Vinyl chloride

    C)  Allyl chloride    

    D)  p-chloro toluene

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     The substitution of chlorine is the most easiest in allyl chloride because allyl carbocation is more stabilized due to reasonance. \[C{{H}_{2}}=CHC{{H}_{2}}Cl\xrightarrow[-C{{l}^{-}}]{{}}\underset{stable\text{ }due\text{ }to\text{ }reasonance}{\mathop{C{{H}_{2}}=CH-\overset{+}{\mathop{C}}\,{{H}_{2}}}}\,\] While vinyl chloride and chlorobenzene are stable because a partial double bond character between\[C-Cl\]bond is formed due to resonance.
