Alkyl halides are prepared from alcohols by treating with-

A

`HCl+ZnCl_(2)`

B

`Red P+Br_(2)`

C

`H_(2)SO_(4)+KI`

D

All the above

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A, B
Hint: Alcohols do not form alkyl halides on treatment with KI in presence of `H_(2)SO_(4)`, because `H_(2)SO_(4)` (oxidising agent) oxidises `KI` to `I_(2)`.
