Question

how to convert isopropyl chloride to n-propyl chloride

Answer 1

Isopropyl chloride or 2-chloropropane with the chemical formula C3H7Cl

has to be converted to


2-methylpropionaldehyde or isobutyraldehyde or propanal with the chemical
Now,

CH3-CH=CH2 + HCl →HBr/PeroxideAnti-Markonikov Addition CH3-CH​2-CH2-Br (1-Bromopropane)
Next,

CH3-CH​2-CH2-Br →Nucleophilic SubstitutionAqueous KOH/ ∆ ​CH3-CH​2-CH2-OH (Propanal or 2-methylpropionaldehyde)



Therefore, the conversion can be defined as -
