They are 1,1-, 1,2-, 1,3-, and 2,2-dichloropropane.
Explanation:
You work out all the different combinations of positions.
1,1-, 1,2-, and 1,3-, and 2,2- are all different.
2,3- is not different, because it is equivalent to 1,2-.
This gives us the four dichloropropanes.
From top to bottom, the structures above are
- 1,1-dichloropropane
- 1,2-dichloropropane
- 1,3-dichloropropane
- 2,2-dichloropropane
