- 1-Chloropropane can be converted into propane via a reduction reaction.
- Mg in dry ether & then H\(_2\)O is a method of reducing alkyl halides (like 1-chloropropane) to alkanes, and in this case, it reduces 1-chloropropane to propane.
Thus, the correct answer is (1) Mg/dry ether & then H\(_2\)O.
