Question

${CH3 -CH = CH2 ->[500^{\circ}C][Cl_2]}X. X$ is

$ClCH_2 -C H = CH_2$

$CH_3 -CH = CHCl$

none of the above

Answer

$ClCH_2 -C H = CH_2$

Explanation

Solution

The alkyl group of the alkenes undergo substitution at high temperature. Chlorine or bromine replace hydrogen of the alpha carbon atom with respect to the double bond of alkyl group at about $500^{\circ}C$ without breaking the double bond (allylic substitution)
