Answer:
Propene is a member of an alkene group where a double bond is found. Alkenes produce an Electrophilic Addition reaction, in which the first step is an electrophile attack or an atom/molecule with a positive charge.
Propene is an alkene compound of the group where a double bond is present in the carbon terminal and its formula is CH₃-CH=CH₂. Alkenes exhibit an Electrophilic Addition reaction which means that a double bond is converted into a single bond by attaching electrophiles to the carbon atom of a double bond.
HOCl is called hypochlorous acid where hydroxyl is the negative component and chlorine ion is the positive component, this is due to the higher electronegativity of oxygen than chlorine.
The reaction occurs when chlorine reacts with water to form hypochlorous acid. Now, this hypochlorous acid divides into two ions and these two ions are bound together by a double bond to propene that forms 1-chloropropan-2-ol.
Cl₂ + H₂O → HOCl + HCl
CH₃-CH=CH₂ + HOCl → CH₃-CH(OH)-CH₂(Cl) + HCl
The reaction occurs in two steps. In the first step, chloride adds a bit of double binding, and in the second step the rapid nucleophile attack by H2O.
So, the reaction of CH₃CH=CH₂ with HOCl will yield CH₃CHOHCH₂Cl ( 1-chloropropan-2-ol).
