Q. PCl5 causes cleavage of ether linkage $\text{R} - \text{O} - \text{R}^{'}$ forming RCl, R'Cl and POCl3.

C5H12O on reaction with PCl5 forms 2-chloropropane and 1-chloroethane as main compounds.

Thus, C5H12O is named as

Solution:

$\text{R} - \text{O} - \text{R}^{'} \overset{\text{PCl}_{5}}{ \rightarrow } \text{R} - \text{Cl} + \text{R}^{'} \text{Cl} + \text{POCl}_{3}$

Solution

O is replaced by two Cl-atoms one each on alkly group.

Thus, C5H12O is
