The reaction of propene with   HOCl C l 2 + H 2 O proceeds through the intermediate:

The reaction of propene with

HOCl

(C l_{2} + H_{2} O)

proceeds through the intermediate:

$C H_{3} - C H (O H) - C H_{2}^{+}$
$C H_{3} - C H C l - C H_{2}^{+}$
$C H_{3} - C H^{+} - C H_{2} - O H$
$C H_{3} - C H^{+} - C H_{2} - C l$

Solution

The reaction of propene with hypochlorous acid which is also the mixture of chlorine gas and water is an electrophilic addition reaction. It proceeds through the carbocation intermediate.
