    Ethyl alcohol reacts with thionyl chloride to give

    A)  \[C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}Cl+HCl\]

    B)  \[C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}Cl+{{H}_{2}}O+S{{O}_{2}}\]

    C)  \[C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}Cl+HCl+S{{O}_{2}}\]

    D)  \[C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}Cl+S{{O}_{2}}+C{{l}_{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    \[\underset{ethyl\,alcohol}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}OH}}\,+\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  thionyl \\  chloride \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{SOC{{l}_{2}}}}\,\to C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}Cl+HCl+S{{O}_{2}}\uparrow \] This method is preferred for the preparation of alkyl halide because both by product of the reaction (i.e., \[S{{O}_{2}}\] and \[HCl\]) are gases and can easily escape leaving behind pure alkyl halide.
