The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

Alkyl halides can be prepared by treating alcohol with SOCl2 {SOCl_2}. CH3CH2OH+SOCl2>CH3CH2Cl+SO2+HCl {CH_3CH_2OH + SOCl_2 -> CH_3 CH_2 Cl + SO_2 + HCl} This reaction is known as Darzen's procedure. Note : SOBr2 {SOBr_2} and SOI2 {SOI_2} are not used in this reaction because SOBr2 {SOBr_2} is less stable and SOI2 {SOI_2} does not exist.

Preparation of Haloalkanes

  1. Preparation by Alcohols: By using alcohol, we can very easily prepare Haloalkane as when R-OH is reacted with a suitable reagent it will form R-X. The following reagents will help in the formation of the reactions:
    1. Halogen Acids (HX)
    2. Thionyl chloride (SOCl2)
    3. Phosphorous halides (PX5 or PX3)
  2. Preparation by Free Radical Halogenation: The formation of alkyl bromides and alkyl chloride is very much possible with the help of free radical halogenation, but as these radicals are highly reactive and non-specific in nature, they can result in the formation of a mixture of products. Though, it's not a preferred method for the preparation of haloalkanes. For example, free radical chlorination can result in the formation of a number of haloalkanes, which in turn makes it difficult to set apart a single product.
  3. Preparation by Alkenes: An electrophilic addition reaction can be used to transform an alkene into a haloalkane as alkene will react with HX to form R-X.
