The addition of HCl in propene proceeds viaA. `Cl^(+)` in first stpeB. `H^(+)` in first stepC. `H^(-)` in first stepD. `Cl^(+) and H^(+)` in single step |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - B Since oxygen is more electronegative than cl, therefore, heterolytic of HO-Cl gives `HO^(-) and Cl^(+)`. Since alkene undergoes `E^(+) AR,` therefore the electrophilic `Cl^(+)` attack first to generate more stable carboncation, which then undergoes mcleophilic attack by `OH^(-)` to give propylene chlorohydrine `CH_(3)-CH=CH_(2)+Cl^(+) to CH_(3)- overset(o+)(CH)-CH_(2)Cl` |
