Here undergoes hydrolysis most readily with aqueous sodium hydroxide to form the corresponding hydroxy derivatives. In nucleophilic aromatic substitution, electron-withdrawal causes activation, and electron-release causes deactivation. An electron-withdrawing group exerts its strongest activating influence at ortho and para positions w.r.t. the Cl atom making it more reactive towards nucleophilic substitution reactions. Groups is most reactive towards nucleophilic substitution reaction.
