When SOCl2 replaces HCl in the reaction, it only produces one product. Explain why.
In each case, show how alcohol can be converted into the given halides (chloride, bromide, and iodide).
a. 1-halopropane (halo = chloro, bromo, iodo)
b. halocyclohexane
Predict the expected products when the following two alcohols are treated with each of the given reagents.
Reagents: (1) HCl, ZnCl2; (2) HBr; (3) PBr3; (4) P/I2; and (5) SOCl2.
Alcohols: a. propan-1-ol ; b. 2-methylpropan-2-ol
Show the reaction to convert (S)-pentan-2-ol into the following products.
