What is the preparation of isopropyl chloride using reagents HCl?

Allan Nicholas  Follow

You can easily make isopropyl chloride from isopropyl alcohol by just adding HCL in it. But, you won't get much product. Now, if you want to increase the product, we need to constantly remove water from it, to ensure non-reversibility of the reaction. For this work, you can employ some type of molecular sieves, which can absorb water from it.

Regards.

Well, take propylene, and bubble it thru a solution of (cold) hydrogen chloride (what do we normally call this?)…

[math]H_{2}C=CH-CH_{3}(g) + HCl(aq) ightarrow H_{3}C-CHCl-CH_{3}[/math]

Would such a product be favoured by the mechanism of the halogen to the olefin? Why or why not? What is the alternative product?
