The reaction of propene with `HOCI (CI_(2)+H_(2)O)` proceeds through the intermediate:

Options

A. `CH_(3)-CH^(+)-CH_(2)-OH`
B. `CH_(3)-CH^(+)-CH_(2)-Cl`
C. `CH_(3)-CH(OH)-CH_(2)^(+)`
D. `CH_(3)-CH(Cl)+CH_(2)^(+)`

Answer

B

Explanation

`CH_(3)CH=CH_(2)+ overset(delta)HO overset(delta+)Cl to underset("Intermediate")(CH_(3)C overset(+)HCH_(2)Cl )overset(OH^(-))to CH_(3)underset(OH)underset(|)CHCH_(2)Cl`
