Study Notes

Preparation of Haloalkanes

  • Haloalkanes can be prepared from alkyl alcohols through a substitution reaction, where the hydroxyl group (-OH) is replaced by a halogen (-X).
  • This reaction involves the use of a hydrogen halide (HX) such as HCl, HBr, or HI.
  • The reaction is typically catalyzed by the presence of zinc chloride (ZnClâ‚‚) or other Lewis acids.

Types of Alkyl Halides

  • Allylic halides: Halides with a halogen atom bonded to a carbon atom that is adjacent to a carbon-carbon double bond.
  • Benzyllic halides: Halides with a halogen atom bonded to a carbon atom that is adjacent to a benzene ring.
  • Vinylic halides: Halides with a halogen atom bonded to a carbon atom that is part of a carbon-carbon double bond.

Reactivity of Alkyl Halides

  • The reactivity of alkyl halides for the same alkyl group decreases in the order: I > Br > Cl > F.
  • This is due to the increasing electronegativity of the halogen atoms, which affects the strength of the carbon-halogen bond.

Dehydrohalogenation

  • Dehydrohalogenation is a reaction in which a halogen atom is removed from a haloalkane, resulting in the formation of an alkene.
  • This reaction is the reverse of the addition of a halogen to an alkene.

Swarts Reaction

  • The Swarts reaction is a method for preparing alkyl halides from alkyl alcohols using a reagent such as phosphorus halides (PX₃) or thionyl chloride (SOClâ‚‚).

Preparation of Alkyl Halides from Alkenes and Alkynes

  • Alkyl halides can be prepared from alkenes and alkynes through the addition of a halogen to the multiple bond.

Characteristics of Alkyl Halides

  • The carbon-halogen bond in alkyl halides is polarized, with the carbon atom having a partial positive charge (δ+) and the halogen atom having a partial negative charge (δ-).
  • The Saytzeff rule states that in dehydrohalogenation, the hydrogen is removed from the β-carbon (the carbon atom that is beta to the leaving group).
