Question

Propene reacts with Cl2 in H2O to give
Options
A 1-Chloro-2-propanol
Correct Answer
B 2-Chloro-2-propanol
C 1-Chloro-1-propanol
D 2-Chloro-1-propanol
Correct Answer

Option A is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Propene reacts with Cl2 in water via halohydrin formation. The chlorine adds to the less substituted carbon (C1) and the OH adds to the more substituted carbon (C2), giving 1-chloro-2-propanol. This follows Markovnikov-like regioselectivity.

Hint

What is the product of halohydrin formation from propene?
