Quick question!!
I know that if COOH reacts with SOCl2 or PCl3 you get an acid chloride.
but if a COOH reacts with a Br3 do you get an acid bromide? or do you get the Hell-Volhard-Zelinski reaction?
How do you tell?
I assume you always get just the HVZ rxn because I cant even find the acyl bromide in my textbook....(except as an intermediate in the HVZ reaction)
