Study Notes

Halogen Derivatives of Hydrocarbons

Halogen derivatives of hydrocarbons are a parent family of organic compounds.

Classification of Monohalogen Compounds

Monohalogen compounds are classified as primary (1°), secondary (2°), or tertiary (3°) based on the number of carbon atoms bonded to the carbon atom bearing the halogen.

IUPAC Nomenclature

The IUPAC name of CH3CH2Br is bromoethane.
The IUPAC name of (CH3)3CBr is tert-butyl bromide.
The IUPAC name of (CH3)2CHBr is 2-bromopropane.
The IUPAC name of (CH3)2CHCl is 2-chloropropane.

Halide Classification

A tertiary halide is a halide in which the halogen atom is bonded to a tertiary carbon atom, such as (CH3)3CBr.
A primary halide is a halide in which the halogen atom is bonded to a primary carbon atom, such as CH3CH2Br.
A secondary halide is a halide in which the halogen atom is bonded to a secondary carbon atom, such as (CH3)2CHBr.

Hybridization of Carbon Atom

The carbon atom in alkyl halides is sp³ hybridized.

Properties of Alkyl Halides

Alkyl halides are polar molecules.
Alkyl halides are susceptible to nucleophilic substitution reactions.
