List of top Chemistry Questions on Solvolysis and Carbocation Stability asked in JEE Main

Given below are two statements:
Statement (I): Benzyl chloride reacts faster in \(S_N1\) mechanism than ethyl chloride.
Statement (II): Ethyl carbocation intermediate is less stabilized by hyperconjugation than benzyl carbocation by resonance.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

The compound \( X \) on:

• (i) On heating in the presence of anhydrous \( \text{AlCl}_3 \) and \( \text{HCl} \) gas gives 2,4-dimethyl pentane.
• (ii) Aromatization gives toluene and
• (iii) Cyclisation gives methyl cyclohexane.

The correct name of compound \( X \) is:
