Write the chemical reactions of $C_{2} H_{5} O H$ with $P C l_{3}$ and $P C l_{5}$ separately

Open in App

Solution

Ethanol reacts with phosphorous trichloride or phosphorous pentachloride to form ethyl chloride.
$3 C_{2} H_{5} O H + P C l_{3} Δ - \to 3 C_{2} H_{5} - C l + H_{3} P O_{3}$
$C_{2} H_{5} O H + P C l_{5} Δ - \to C_{2} H_{5} - C l + H C l + P O C l_{3}$
