Welcome back everyone. What is the product formed in the reaction below starting material that we have in this problem is a primary alcohol, right? Because we can see hydroxyl being bonded to the primary carbon and it reacts with hydrochloric acid. We have to recall that this reaction essentially involves a protonation step in the first step of the mechanism because HCL is a strong acid, it can essentially donate it's hygen to oxygen very easily, right? So we are dealing with a protonation stuff and we are forming the chloride anion as a result. So what we're going to do is draw Oxonian that would be oht oxygen gets a formal positive charge. And of course, the chloride anion formed essentially allows us to perform a substitution reaction. We're essentially dealing with an S and two substitution. We have a good leaving group, right? And the chloride anion acts is a nhi. So the net result of this reaction is essentially the replacement of hydroxyl with the chloral group. Let's go ahead and replace the oh with C we have successfully obtained our product and we are going to label it as our final answer. Thank you for watching.
