Today I'm going to talk about a second approach: converting alcohols into alkyl chlorides with thionyl chloride (SOCl2). This is a useful reaction, because the resulting alkyl halides are versatile compounds that can be converted into many compounds that are not directly accessible from the alcohol itself.

Answer:
Explanation:
Haloalkanes () can be prepared from alcohols () using chlorinating agents like thionyl chloride ( ):
General formula:
{ R -> alkyl group }
Note: This reaction is the preferred method of preparation of haloalkanes from alcohols. The side products formed ( ) are gaseous and escape out. Therefore there is no need to separate the pure alkyl halide.
Any corrections or suggestions for improvement are welcome :)
