Solution
The correct option is CCH3−C∣ClH−C∣OHH2 When 1-bromopropane is treated with aq NaOH, propan-1-ol (compound X) is obtained. Bromide is replaced with −OH group. When propan-1-ol is heated in presence of alumina, propene (compound Y) is obtained due to dehydration. When propene is treated with HOCl (chlorine water), 2-chloropropan-1-ol (compound Z) is obtained.
