Appel Reaction
Appel reaction converts an alcohol into an alkyl halide using triphenylphosphine and carbon tetrahalide under mild condition. Substitution of OH by halogens follows SN2 process that means it involves the inversion of stereochemistry. Apple reaction is somewhat similar to the Mitsunobu Reaction.
Appel reaction is also effective on carboxylic acids. It is used to convert acid to oxazolines, oxazines and thiazolines.
