Question

When SOCl_{2} replaces HCl in the reaction, it only produces one product. Explain why.

Accepted Answer

The reaction happens in $$S_{N}2 $$substitution instead of $$S_{N}1.$$

Answer

The reaction happens in basic conditions so the intermediate will have a resonance structure.

Answer

The $$S_{N}1 $$reaction produces a stable carbocation intermediate.

Answer

The reactant is a secondary alcohol, so that it will undergo E2 elimination.
