The mechanism of the reaction of propene...

The mechanism of the reaction of propene with HOCI `(Cl_2 + H_2O)` will proceed through which of the following intermediates?

A

`CH_3 - overset(oplus)(CH)-CH_2OH`

B

`CH-3-overset(oplus)(CH)-CH_2Cl`

C

`CH_3-overset(OH)(CH)-overset(oplus)(C)H_3`

D

`CH_3-overset(Cl)(CH)-overset(oplus)(C)H_2`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
The chlorine atom has the lesser electronegativity and is the electrophile and the carbocation in this intermediate has the greater number of hyperconjugation resonance forms.
