  • $1,2,3-$trichloropropane
  • B
    Glycero monochlorohydrin
  • C
    Glycero dichlorohydrin
  • D
    All of these

Answer

Correct option: A.
$1,2,3-$trichloropropane
a
When glycerd reacts with $P_5$, it gives glycerly trichloride $(1,2,3-trichloropropane)$ along with phosphoryl chloride and hydrochloric acid This reaction is given as:
