Preparation of alkyl halides from alcohols | Organic chemistry | Khan Academy

How to convert an alcohol into an alkyl halide. Created by Jay.

Organic Chemistry on Khan Academy: Carbon can form covalent bonds with itself and other elements to create a mind-boggling array of structures. In organic chemistry, we will learn about the reactions chemists use to synthesize crazy carbon based structures, as well as the analytical methods to characterize them. We will also think about how those reactions are occurring on a molecular level with reaction mechanisms. Simply put, organic chemistry is like building with molecular Legos. Let's make some beautiful organic molecules!

About Khan Academy: Khan Academy offers practice exercises, instructional videos, and a personalized learning dashboard that empower learners to study at their own pace in and outside of the classroom. We tackle math, science, computer programming, history, art history, economics, and more. Our math missions guide learners from kindergarten to calculus using state-of-the-art, adaptive technology that identifies strengths and learning gaps. We've also partnered with institutions like NASA, The Museum of Modern Art, The California Academy of Sciences, and MIT to offer specialized content.

Thank you much. I've learned so much here in 9 minutes than I ever did in 75 minutes in my actual class. Keep up the awesome work!

now for me the problem is not in the mechanism i can understand the mechanism really well but when it comes to 20 mechanisms in one exam i tend to forget every single mechanism, can any one help me ?

uhm, ithink socl2 and the catalyst pyridine is only used in tertiary alcohol only..
not 1 degree and second degree

i want to ask how phosphorus acid will be formed as a by-product?
