MCQ
Acetic acid reacts with $PC{l_5}$to form
  • $C{H_3}COCl$
  • B
    $CHC{l_2}COOH$
  • C
    $C{H_2}ClCOOH$
  • D
    $C{H_3}COOCl$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$C{H_3}COCl$
a
(a)When acetic acid is reacted with $PC{l_5}$ the product formed are acetyl chloride, phosphoryl chloride and hydrochloric acid

$\mathop {C{H_3}COOH}\limits_{Aceticacid}  + \mathop {PC{l_5}}\limits_{\begin{subarray}{l} 
  Phosphorus \\ 
  pentachloride 
\end{subarray}}   \to \mathop {C{H_3}COCl}\limits_{\begin{subarray}{l} 
  Acetyl \\ 
  Chtoride 
\end{subarray} }  + \mathop {HCl}\limits_{\begin{subarray}{l} 
  Hydro - Chtortic \\ 
  acid 
\end{subarray}}   +\mathop {POC{l_3}}\limits_{\begin{subarray}{l} 
  Phosphoryl \\ 
  chtoride 
\end{subarray}  }$
