Which of the following reaction (s) can be used for the preparation of alkyl halides?
-
I, III and IV
-
I and II
-
Only IV
-
III and IV
A.
I, III and IV
In the equation (I) and (IV) is the presence of Lucas reagent (HCl + anh.ZnCl2) which on reaction alcohols gives alkyl halides. In equation (III alkyl halides is formed due to SN1 reaction.
