Thionyl chloride reacts with ethanol to produce ethyl chloride and hydrogen chloride sulphur dioxide.
Explanation:
- Thionyl chloride is a compound of sulphur oxygen and chlorine with formula of SOCl2.
- This compound is a chlorine donator which readily reacts with alcohols, aldehydes and carboxylic acids to produce alkyl chloride, and acyl chlorides respectively
- So with ethanol it produces ethyl chloride, sulphur dioxide and water hydrogen chloride.
- The reaction is
- SOCl2 + CH3CH2OH =CH3CH2Cl + HCl + SO2.
