Answer 1

Explanation:

After completing this section, you should be able to

write an equation for the conversion of an alcohol to an alkyl halide.

list a given series of alcohols in increasing or decreasing order of reactivity with hydrogen halides.

identify the alkyl halide formed when a given alcohol reacts with thionyl chloride, phosphorus tribromide, or a hydrogen halide.

identify the alcohol which should be used to prepare a given alkyl halide using one of the reagents specified in Objective 3.

select the most appropriate reagent for converting a given alcohol to a given alkyl halide.
