Ethyl alcohol reacts with thionyl chloride to give

Options

  1. ACH ₃ CH ₂ Cl + HCl
  2. BCH ₃ CH ₂ Cl + H ₂ O + SO ₂
  3. CCH ₃ CH ₂ Cl + HCl + SO ₂
  4. DCH ₃ CH ₂ Cl + SO ₂+ Cl ₂

Correct answer

C. CH ₃ CH ₂ Cl + HCl + SO ₂

Step-by-step solution

ethyl alcohol CH ₃ CH ₂ OH + thionyl chloride SOCl ₂ CH ₃ CH ₂ Cl + HCl + SO ₂ This method is preferred for the preparation of alkyl halide because both by product of the reaction ( ie, SO ₂ and HCl ) are gases and can easily escape leaving behind pure alkyl halide.
