Question

Given below are two statements: 
Statement I: 
 will undergo alkaline hydrolysis at a faster rate than

Statement II:
In  intramolecular substitution takes place first by involving lone pair of electrons on nitrogen. 
 

• A. Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect
• B. Both Statement I and Statement II are correct
• C. Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect
• D. Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct

Hint:

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

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

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.
