Draw the curved arrow mechanism for the reaction between (2s,3s)-3,5-dimethylhexan-2-ol and pcl3. note the specific instructions for each box. include nonzero formal charges and lone pairs of electrons on all appropriate atoms. then answer the question about the mechanism.

(2R,3S)-2-chloro-3,5-dimethylhexane

Explanation:

As first step we have the attack of the OH group to the P atom in the PCl3 and one of the Cl atoms would leave. Then we will have a rearrangement to produce a double bond with the oyxgen on the OH. Finally the Cl produced will attack the carbon in a Sn2 substitution reaction to produce the halide with an opposite configuration.

hydrocarbons are organic compounds that contain only hydrogens and carbons. they can be saturated (those which contain only carbon-carbon single bonds) or unsaturated (those which contain carbon-carbon double or triple bonds) in nature. hydrocarbons can undergo several reactions like substitution, elimination etc.  

on substituting one or more hydrogen atoms in hydrocarbon it results in the formation of haloalkane. as the halogen atoms are large compared to the carbon and hydrogen atoms, due to which the molecular weight increases and the bond become polar because of presence electronegative halogen atom and results in the increase in boiling point of the haloalkane.

thus, the correct option is (b) that is the boiling point of the new compound increases on substituting a hydrogen atom with a halogen in a hydrocarbon.
