    Hydrogen chloride and \[\text{S}{{\text{O}}_{\text{2}}}\]are the side products in the reaction of ethanol with thionyl chloride. Which of the following is the main product in this reaction?

    A)  \[{{\text{C}}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}O{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}\]              

    B)  \[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{6}}\]

    C)  \[C{{H}_{3}}Cl\]                              

    D)  \[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}Cl\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                     Thionyl chloride \[(SOC{{l}_{2}})\] is a useful reagent to convert ?OH group into ?Cl group. \[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}OH+SOC{{l}_{2}}\to {{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}Cl+HCl+S{{O}_{2}}\]
