Which chloride is least reactive with the hydrolysis point of view?

1. $\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{Cl}$
2. $\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{Cl}$
3. $\left(\mathrm{CH}_{3}ight)_{3} \mathrm{CCl}$
4. $\mathrm{CH}_{2}=\mathrm{CH}-\mathrm{Cl}$

Solution

The non-reactivity of chlorine atom in vinyl chloride is due to resonance stabilisation.
