Question:

Given below are two statements:
 will undergo alkaline hydrolysis at a faster rate than
, intramolecular substitution takes place first by involving lone pair of electrons on nitrogen.

Show Hint

Consider proximity and molecular orientation when predicting reaction mechanisms and rates, especially in intramolecular versus intermolecular contexts.

The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

Statement I is incorrect because intramolecular reactions generally occur at a faster rate than intermolecular ones due to proximity effects. Statement II is correct as it accurately describes the intramolecular substitution process involving the lone pair on nitrogen facilitating the reaction.
