Write the reactions of alcohols with hydrogen halides |
|
Answer» Solution :`to` With hydrogen halides, the alcohols react to form alkyl halides. The difference in the reactivities of three classes of alcohols with HCl distinguishes from ONE another. `to` The alcohol reacts with Lucas REAGENT (conc. HCI and `ZnCl_(2)`) while their halides are immiscible and produce turbidity in solution. In case of tertiary alcohols, the turbidity is produced immediately as they form halides easily. Primary alcohols do not produce turbidity at room temperature. `to` The reaction of tertiary alcohols take PLACE by `S_(N)l` mechanism whereas primary and secondary alcohols reacts by `S_(N)2` mechanism. `(CH_(3))_(3)C-OH overset(ZnCl_(2)//HCl) to (CH_(3))_(3)C- Cl+ H_(2)O` |
