Solution and Explanation
Hydrolysis by aqueous KOH proceeds through the formation of carbonation. If carbocation is stable, then the compound is easily hydrolyzed by aqueous KOH. Now,C6H5CH2CL forms 1°-carbocation, while C6H5CHCLC6H5 forms 2°-carbocation, which is more stable than 1°-carbocation.Hence,C6H5CHCLC6H5 is hydrolyzed more easily than C6H5CH2CL by aqueous KOH.
