Answer:
Reactant is shown below
Explanation:
- To convert propene to 1,2-dichloropropane, [tex]Cl_{2}[/tex] should be used in a polar aprotic slovent like [tex]CH_{2}Cl_{2}[/tex].
- Here, [tex]Cl_{2}[/tex] adds onto double bond and forms a chloronium cation followed by nucleophilic attack by a chloride ion.
- Chloronium ion intermediate has transient carbocationic character, Therefore chloride ion attack at more substituted position.
- Reaction mechanism has been shown below.
