Acetic acid reacts with PCl5to give:
Show Hint
Acyl chlorides can be formed by treating carboxylic acids with reagents like PCl5}, which replace the hydroxyl group with a chlorine atom.
Updated On: Feb 25, 2025
Cl – CH2 – COCl
Cl – CH2 – COOH
CH3 – COCl
CCl3 – COOH
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
When acetic acid reacts with PCl5, it forms acyl chloride (CH3COCl) by replacing the –OH group with a chlorine atom. This reaction is a typical example of chlorination of carboxylic acids.
