The best method to prepare neopentyl chloride is:

A$$\displaystyle (CH_3)_3 CCH_2 OH \overset{PCl_5, \Delta}{\longrightarrow}$$
B$$\displaystyle (CH_3)_3 CCH_2 OH \overset{HCl, \Delta}{\longrightarrow}$$
C$$\displaystyle (CH_3)_3 CCH_2 OH \overset{SoCl_2, pyridine}{\longrightarrow}$$
D$$\displaystyle (CH_3)_3 CCH_3 \overset{Cl_2, h \nu \Delta}{\longrightarrow}$$
Correct Answer

Solution

Neopentylalcohol on reaction with $$HCl$$ on heating forms 2-methyl-2-chlorobutane. So the answer is option D.
