Solution and Explanation

PCl+ C2H5OH → C2H5Cl + H3PO3

(A)

H3PO3 + PCl3→ H4P2O5

(A) (B)

Structure of H4P2O5

Organic Chemistry – Some Basic Principles and Techniques - Reaction Mechanism

SN1 Reaction Mechanism:

SN1 reaction mechanism takes place by following three steps –

  • Formation of carbocation 
  • Attack of nucleophile 
  • Deprotonation 

SN2 Reaction Mechanism:

The SN2 reaction mechanism involves the nucleophilic substitution reaction of the leaving group (which generally consists of halide groups or other electron-withdrawing groups) with a nucleophile in a given organic compound.

Electrophilic Aromatic Substitution Reaction Mechanism:

The mechanism of an electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction contains three main components which are:

  1. A new sigma bond from C=C is formed during the reaction in the arene nucleophile.
  2. Due to the breaking of the C-H sigma bond, a proton is removed.
  3. The C=C bond is reformed and it restores the aromaticity of the compound.

Electrophilic Substitution Reaction Mechanism:

The electrophilic substitution reaction mechanism is composed of three steps, which will be discussed more below.

  • Electrophile Generation
  • Carbocation Formation
  • Proton Removal
