Study Notes
Halogen Derivatives Overview
- Halogen derivatives arise from replacing hydrogen atoms in hydrocarbons with halogen atoms.
- Major types include haloalkanes, haloalkenes, haloalkynes, and haloarenes.
Classification of Halogen Derivatives
- Classifications are based on hydrocarbon skeleton and halogen count.
- Halogen derivatives can be classified as mono, di, tri, or poly halogen compounds.
Monohalogen Compounds
- Monohalogen compounds are further classified by:
- Position of halogen atom
- Type of hybridization of the carbon to which halogen is attached
Types of Monohalogen Compounds
-
Alkyl Halides (Haloalkanes):
- Halogen is bonded to an sp3 hybridized carbon in a saturated carbon skeleton.
- Can be classified as primary, secondary, or tertiary based on the carbon's substitution state.
-
Vinylic Halides:
- Halogen bonded to an sp2 hybridized carbon atom in an aliphatic chain.
-
Allylic Halides:
- Halogen attached to an sp3 hybridized carbon adjacent to a carbon-carbon double bond.
-
Haloalkynes:
- Halogen bonded to an sp hybridized carbon atom.
-
Aryl Halides (Haloarenes):
- Halogen is bonded to a carbon atom in an aromatic ring structure.
Examples of Specific Compounds
- Freon-12 (CCl2F2) and Benzyl Bromide (Br) exemplify haloalkanes and haloarenes respectively.
- Hexachlorobenzene and Hexachlorocyclohexane represent di- and tri-halo compounds.
Importance of Halogen Derivatives
- Halogen derivatives play significant roles in various applications including solvents, refrigerants, and pharmaceuticals.
