Alcohols to halogenoalkanes
chlorination, bromination, iodination
What is a reaction in chlorination?
Alcohol + PCl5 produces halogenoalkane + POCl3 +HCL
What is the reaction in bromination and what does it consist of?
Alcohol +HBr produces halogenoalkane +water
Potassium bromide + 50% concnetrated sulphuric acid +50% water
What is the reaction in Iodination and what does it consist of?
2P + 3I2 produces 2PI3
alcohol + 2PI3 produces halogenoalkane +H3PO3
- red phosphorus + iodine
