**Understanding the Formation of Dichlorocyclopropane**In this exercise, we'll explore the reaction in which dichlorocarbene is generated in the presence of an alkene, leading to the formation of dichlorocyclopropane.**Reaction Overview:**- **Reactants:** Propene (H₃C-CH=CH₂) and chloroform (CHCl₃)- **Reagent:** KOH (Potassium hydroxide)- **Product:** Dichlorocyclopropane**Objective:**To write and understand the complete stepwise mechanism for the formation of dichlorocarbene (:CCl₂). It’s crucial to display all intermediate structures and illustrate the electron flow using arrows.### Stepwise Mechanism:1. **Deprotonation of Chloroform:** - Potassium hydroxide (KOH) acts as a base and deprotonates chloroform (CHCl₃) to form the trichloromethide ion (CCl₃⁻).2. **Formation of Dichlorocarbene:** - The trichloromethide ion (CCl₃⁻) undergoes elimination of a chloride ion (Cl⁻), forming dichlorocarbene (:CCl₂). 3. **Cyclopropanation of the Alkene:** - Dichlorocarbene (:CCl₂) reacts with the alkene (H₃C-CH=CH₂) to form dichlorocyclopropane. - The vacant p-orbital of :CCl₂ overlaps with the π-bond of the alkene, resulting in the formation of a three-membered ring.### Diagram Explanation:There is a structural illustration showing the initial reactants on the left: the alkene with one hydrogen and two carbon groups (H₃C-CH=CH₂) and chloroform (CHCl₃) with the presence of a KOH arrow pointing toward the product on the right, which is dichlorocyclopropane with two chlorine atoms incorporated at the points of a cyclopropane structure.### Key Points:- **Electron Flow:** Use arrows to indicate the movement from electron-rich species (base or nucleophile) to electron-deficient species (electrophile or carbene center). - **Reaction Conditions:** Typically conducted under controlled conditions to
