$CH_3-COOH \xrightarrow{Cl_2/Red P} CH_3-COCl$

Vedclass · Answer

(A) In the Hell-Volhard-Zelinsky $(HVZ)$ reaction,carboxylic acids with $\alpha$-hydrogens react with $Cl_2$ or $Br_2$ in the presence of red phosphorus to give $\alpha$-halo carboxylic acids.The correct reaction is: $CH_3-COOH \xrightarrow{Cl_2/Red P} Cl-CH_2-COOH$.The product $CH_3-COCl$ (acetyl chloride) is formed when $CH_3-COOH$ reacts with $PCl_5$,$PCl_3$,or $SOCl_2$,not via the $HVZ$ reaction.Therefore,option $A$ is not correctly matched.

Which of the following reactions is not correctly matched with its product?
