Abstract
Primary and secondary alkyl chlorides have been conveniently prepared by the reaction of tri-n-octylphosphine with carbon tetrachloride solutions of the corresponding alcohols. This rapid, high yield reaction proceeds with inversion of configuration. By using carbon tetrabromide the method has been extended to the synthesis of alkyl bromides.Keywords
