Abstract

The Appel reaction of an alcohol with CCl4/PPh3 and with CBr4/PPh3 produce alkyl chlorides and alkyl bromides, respectively. It was found that in the case of using CBrCl3-PPh3, a mixture of alkyl chlorides and alkyl bromides are formed. Dichloromethane (CH2Cl2) and acetonitrile (CH3CN) were used as solvents, where the reaction was found to be solvent-dependent.
