Question

When Prop-1-ene is treated with HCl in the presence of peroxide we get:

• A. No reaction
• B. 2-Chloropropane
• C. 1-Chloropropane
• D. 3-Chloropropane

Answer 1

The correct option is C

1-Chloropropane

When Prop-1-ene is treated with HCl in the presence of peroxide we get 1-Chloropropane.In the presence of peroxides, the reaction follows anti-Markovnikov's effect which states that the negative part of addendum goes to that carbon atom which has more number of H atoms.
