Carbocation as an intermediate is likely to be formed in the reaction :

Answer»

Propene`+Cl_(2) overset(hv) rarr`2- chloropropane
Acetone `+HCN overset(""^(-)OH)rarr` acetonecyanohydrin
ETHYL bromide `+ Aq. KOH overset(Delta) rarr` ethyl alcohol
Hexane `overset("Anhy."AlCl_(3)//HCl)rarr` 2-methylpentane

Solution :`CH_(3)CH_(2)CH_(2)CH_(2)CH_(2)CH_(3) underset("Isomerisation")overset("Anhy."AlCl_(3)//HCl)rarr underset("2-Methylpentane")overset(""CH_(3))overset("|")(CH_(3)CH_(2)CH_(2)CHCH_(3))`
This involves the formation of carbocation as an intermediate.
