Question

What is the action of
PCl3 ,
pcl5 ,socl2 on
ethyl
alcohol?​

Answer 1

$\huge\mathfrak{Answer:-}$

⭕ The reactions are as follows :-

• 3C2H5OH + Pcl3 = 3C2H5Cl + H3PO3.
• C2H5OH + Pcl5 = C2H5Cl + Pocl3 +Hcl
• C2H5OH + SOCl2 = C2H5Cl + SO2 + HCl
• The third reaction is known as Darzen's method, it gives the best yield of alkyl hallide as the by products are gases and escape out.
