Question

write the general equation for the reaction of primary alcohol with SOCL2

Answer 1

s=11,, o=6,, c= 8×8=====81e¤

Answer 2

The general equation for the reaction of a primary alcohol with SOCl₂ is as follows:

$R-OH+SOCl_2 \ - > R-Cl+SO_2+HCl$

Here R-OH is the primary alcohol. The reaction takes place in the presence of pyridine. This process is also called Darzen's process.

The by-products are hydrochloric acid, sulfur dioxide, and chloride of R ( alkyl chloride). Conversion of alcohol to alkyl halides does a substitution reaction with the SN₂ mechanism.
