Question

definetion of grooves process

Answer 1

Hi friend,


here is ur answer,

Groves Process: R-OH + HCl → R-Cl + H₂O , where R is an Alkyl group. (anhydrous zncl2 + heat) The anhydrous zncl2 is used in grooves process as reducing agent ,since in the reaction HX bond is stronger to be break so anhydrous zncl2 + heat help to break it and it also reduces 1° alcohol into alkylhalide directly .

hope helps for u.........
