    Which of the following statements is incorrect regarding benzyl chloride?

    A)  It gives white precipitate with alcoholic \[AgN{{O}_{3}}\]

    B)  It is an aromatic compound with substitution in the side chain

    C)  It undergoes nucleophilic substitution reaction

    D)  It is less reactive than vinyl chloride

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Benzyl chloride is very reactive. It readily give, white precipitate with alcoholic \[AgN{{O}_{3}}\] at room temperature. It also readily undergo     nucleophilic substitution. Its structure is as follows:     Vinyl chloride \[(C{{H}_{2}}=CH\,.\,Cl)\], on the other hand, is less reactive than benzyl chloride due to resonance.
