I am trying to find some sort of literature that outlines the reaction of sulfur chlorides with alcohols. As much as I search, I can't find anything.
I could only find two useless things on PubChem,
Quote:
Alcohol and glycols in the presence of hydrochloric acid lead to dehydration reactions.
and
Quote:
Decomp in alcohol, ether
I am trying to see if this reaction will form alkyl chlorides and an analogous reaction will form alkyl iodides (More details here). Before I start experimenting, I want some literature of sorts that confirms that this works. Does anyone have a paper outlining this?Maurice-VD-3 - 20-3-2021 at 12:20
This problem was probably studied at the end of the 19th century. clearly_not_atara - 20-3-2021 at 13:59
That's because the rxns give a mixture of products including, among other things, sulfur mustards. The dehydration product alkenes can add across S-Cl
to give further products.
