Question

What is the reaction of thionyl chloride on alcohols? Write the equation.

Answer 1

Answer:

CH3CH2OH + SOCl2--CH3CH2 + SO2 + HCl

Explanation:

Alcohols react with thionyl chloride to produce a Sulfur dioxide and hydrogen chloride are are given off as well. CH3CH2OH + SOCl2 → CH3CH2 X + SO2 + HCl ; where X = Cl/Br/I This reaction is useful in obtaining pure halogenoalkane. This is because the other two products are gases, and they can be separated from the mixture easily

Hope it helps..

Answer 2

If you take an alcohol and add thionyl chloride, it will be converted into an alkyl chloride. The byproducts here are hydrochloric acid (HCl) and sulfur dioxide (SO2)

sorry I didn't know the equation
