Study Notes
Aromatic Halogen Compounds: Synthesis and Reactivity
- Aromatic halogen compounds can be synthesized through direct halogenation using FeX3 and X2, or indirectly through thallation reactions or with Silver perchlorate (AgClO4) and CuCl2.
- Iodo- and fluoro-derivatives are best prepared indirectly, through thallation reactions or by using Silver perchlorate (AgClO4) and CuCl2, or through the decomposition of diazonium salts.
- The Sendmayer reaction, using a cuprous ion catalyst, can be used for the synthesis of aromatic halogen compounds.
- Wurtz reaction and Ulman reaction are methods for the formation of aromatic halogen compounds.
- Grignard reagent can be used for the formation of aromatic halogen compounds through electrophilic aromatic substitution.
- Halobenzenes undergo electrophilic aromatic substitution, with halogen atoms being electron withdrawing by induction, making them deactivators, but they also have a strong resonance effect due to their lone electron pairs.
- The electronic influence of halogen atoms on the ring determines their reactivity in electrophilic aromatic substitution.
- Halogen atoms are very electronegative, which contributes to their electron withdrawing nature by induction.
- The synthesis of aromatic halogen compounds can involve heat, catalysts like cuprous ions, and specific reagents such as ethyl bromide and Grignard reagent.
- Aromatic halogen compounds can be used in various reactions, including the Wurtz reaction and electrophilic aromatic substitution.
- The reactivity of halobenzenes is influenced by both their electron withdrawing nature by induction and their strong resonance effect due to lone electron pairs.
- The synthesis and reactivity of aromatic halogen compounds involve various methods and reactions, making them versatile compounds in organic chemistry.
