Chapter 9, Problem 9.19P

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation: The products of the given reaction are to be drawn.

Concept introduction: The reaction of alcohols with halogen acids $\left(\text{HX}\right)$ is a general method to obtain ${\text{1}}^{\text{ο}}\text{,}{\text{2}}^{\text{ο}}\text{or}{\text{3}}^{\text{ο}}$ alkyl halides. This method is preferred due to the formation of ${\text{H}}_{\text{2}}\text{O}$ as leaving group. The more substituted alcohols generally react rapidly with halogen acids.
