Question
Write a note on the reaction of alcohols with phosphrous trihalides.
✓
Answer
$\rightarrow$ Alcohols react with phosphrous trihalides to give corresponded alkyl halides.
This reaction is useful for preparation of alkyl halides from alcohols. $\ce{3R-OH + PX 3 \rightarrow 3R-X + H3PO3 (X = Cl, Br)}$
