Question

For the reaction, CH\(_3\)-CH=CH\(_2\) + HOCl \(\rightarrow\) A. The product A is

• A. CH\(_3\)-CHCl-CH\(_2\)OH
• B. CH\(_3\)-CH(OH)-CH\(_2\)Cl
• C. CH\(_3\)-CH\(_2\)-CH\(_2\)-COCl
• D. CH\(_3\)-C(Cl)(OH)-CH\(_3\)

Hint:

Markovnikov's rule: negative part adds to carbon with fewer hydrogens.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Understanding the Concept:
Addition follows Markovnikov's rule.
Step 2: Detailed Explanation:
HOCl adds such that OH goes to more substituted carbon, Cl to less substituted.
CH\(_3\)-CH=CH\(_2\) + HOCl \(\rightarrow\) CH\(_3\)-CH(OH)-CH\(_2\)Cl
Step 3: Final Answer:
Product is CH\(_3\)-CH(OH)-CH\(_2\)Cl.
