Which reagent is used to convert an alcohol to an alkyl halide? (2023) 2023
  • Step 1: Identify the alcohol you want to convert to an alkyl halide.
  • Step 2: Choose the reagent PCl5 (phosphorus pentachloride) for the reaction.
  • Step 3: Mix the alcohol with PCl5 in a suitable reaction environment.
  • Step 4: Allow the reaction to occur, where PCl5 will replace the -OH group of the alcohol with a -Cl group.
  • Step 5: After the reaction, you will have an alkyl halide as the product.
