To convert ethene (CH2=CH2) to divinyl ether (CH2=CH-O-CH=CH2), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Chlorohydrin Formation 1. **Reaction with HOCl**: Ethene reacts with hypochlorous acid (HOCl). The double bond in ethene acts as a nucleophile and attacks the chlorine atom, leading to the formation of a chlorohydrin. - **Reaction**: \[ CH_2=CH_2 + HOCl \rightarrow CH_2(OH)-CH_2Cl \] ...
