ROH cannot be converted into RCl on treatment with KCl, however reaction takens place on treatment with HCl. Explain |
| Answer» SOLUTION :`Cl^(-)` is a WEAK nuleophile than `OH^(-)` and hence cannot replace. HOWEVER when Hcl is added, `H^(+)` of HCl protonates on oxygen atom and `H_(2)O` becomes good LEAVING group and gives `R-Cl` | |
