The reaction of propene with HOCl proceeds via the addition of :

Options

A. `H^(+)` in the first step
B. `Cl^(+)` in the first step
C. `OH^(-)` in the first step
D. `Cl^(+) and OH^(-)` in a single step

Answer

B

Explanation

`HO-Cl rarr OH^(-)+Cl^(+)`
`underset("Propene")(CH_(3)-CH=CH_(2)overset(Cl^(+))rarr CH_(3)-overset(+)(C )H-CH_(2)Cl overset(OH^(-))rarr CH_(3)-underset(OH)underset(|)(C )H-CH_(2)Cl`
