    Study Notes

    Haloalkanes and Haloarenes

    • Haloalkanes are formed by replacing hydrogen atoms in an aliphatic hydrocarbon with halogen atoms.
    • Haloarenes are formed by replacing hydrogen atoms in an aromatic hydrocarbon with halogen atoms.
    • Haloalkanes contain halogen atoms attached to the sp3 hybridised carbon atom of an alkyl group.
    • Haloarenes contain halogen atoms attached to sp2 hybridised carbon atoms of an aryl group.
    • Chloramphenicol, a chlorine-containing antibiotic produced by microorganisms, is effective for treating typhoid fever.
    • Thyroxine, an iodine-containing hormone produced by the body, is crucial for thyroid function.
    • Chloroquine, a synthetic halogen compound, is used to treat malaria.
    • Halothane, another synthetic halogen compound, is used as an anaesthetic during surgery.
    • Some fully fluorinated compounds are being considered as potential blood substitutes in surgery.

    Reactions of Haloalkanes and Haloarenes

    • SN1 reactions are favored by the stability of carbocations, making tertiary alkyl halides highly reactive.
    • SN2 reactions are favored by the accessibility of the electrophilic carbon and are generally faster with primary halides.
    • Leaving Group Ability: The order of reactivity for leaving groups in both SN1 and SN2 reactions is I > Br > Cl >> F.
    • Steric Hinderance: Steric hindrance around the carbon atom with the halogen affects SN2 reaction rates, with higher amounts of hindrance slowing the reaction down.

    Factors Affecting the Rate of SN1 and SN2 Reactions

    • Stability of the carbocation: The more stable the carbocation, the faster the SN1 reaction.
    • Leaving group ability: A good leaving group detaches easily, accelerating the SN1 and SN2 reactions.
    • Strength of the nucleophile: A strong nucleophile attacks the substrate more effectively, increasing the rate of SN2 reactions.
    • Solvent: Polar protic solvents favor SN1 reactions, whereas polar aprotic solvents favor SN2 reactions.

    Stereochemistry

    • Optically active compounds: These compounds rotate the plane of plane polarised light when it is passed through their solutions.
    • Dextrorotatory (d-form): Rotates the plane of polarized light clockwise.
    • Levorotatory (l-form): Rotates the plane of polarized light counterclockwise.

    Applications of Organometallic Compounds

    • Organometallic compounds have various industrial and daily life applications.
    • Used as solvents for non-polar compounds and as starting materials in organic synthesis
    • Play a crucial role in various chemical processes as catalysts and reagents.
