Question
Which of the following reactions yield an alkyl halide?(a) diethyl ether $+\mathrm{RCOCl}$(b) diethyl ether $+\mathrm{PCl}_{5}$(c) diethyl ether $+\mathrm{HI}$(d) diethyl ether $+\mathrm{Cl}_{2}$
Step 1
The reaction is as follows: \[C_{2}H_{5}OC_{2}H_{5} + RCOCl \rightarrow C_{2}H_{5}Cl + RCOOC_{2}H_{5}\] In this reaction, diethyl ether reacts with acyl chloride to form an alkyl halide (ethyl chloride) and an ester. Show more…
