reaction of alkenes with chlorine in presence of water gives options (1) 1,2-halo alcohols (2) 1,2-diols (3) 1,2- dihalides (4) 2-halo alkanes which option is correct​

Answer 1

Answer:

1,2-halo alcohols in the correct option

Answer 2

Answer:

(1) 1,2-halo alcohols

Explanation:

Let's do the given reaction, i.e. reaction of alkene with chlorine and water :

$R_{2} C=CR_{2} + X_{2} + H_2O \rightarrow R_2COH-CR_2X$

hence, at one end of carbon $-OH$ is attached and at the other end $-X$ is attached.

In case of regio-selectivity, $-OH$ with be selected over $-X$.
