Study Notes
Haloalkanes
Nomenclature
- Haloalkanes are named by prefixing the name of the halogen atom to the parent alkane
- Halogen atoms are numbered according to the IUPAC rules
- Examples:
- Chloromethane (CH3Cl)
- 1-Chloroethane (C2H5Cl)
- 2-Bromopropane (C3H7Br)
Chemical Reactions
- Nucleophilic substitution reactions (SN1 and SN2):
- Haloalkanes react with nucleophiles to form a new compound
- Examples: hydrolysis, alkylation, and elimination reactions
- Elimination reactions:
- Haloalkanes react with a base to form an alkene
- Examples: E1 and E2 mechanisms
- Electrophilic addition reactions:
- Haloalkanes react with alkenes to form a halogenated compound
Physical Properties
- Physical state: liquids or gases at room temperature
- Boiling point: increases with increasing molecular weight and the size of the halogen atom
- Solubility: generally insoluble in water, but soluble in organic solvents
- Density: generally higher than the corresponding alkane
Haloarenes
Nomenclature
- Haloarenes are named by prefixing the name of the halogen atom to the parent arene
- Halogen atoms are numbered according to the IUPAC rules
- Examples:
- Chlorobenzene (C6H5Cl)
- 1-Chloronaphthalene (C10H7Cl)
Chemical Reactions
- Electrophilic substitution reactions:
- Haloarenes react with electrophiles to form a new compound
- Examples: nitration, sulfonation, and halogenation reactions
- Nucleophilic substitution reactions:
- Haloarenes react with nucleophiles to form a new compound
- Examples: hydrolysis and alkylation reactions
Physical Properties
- Physical state: solids or liquids at room temperature
- Melting point: generally higher than the corresponding arene
- Solubility: generally insoluble in water, but soluble in organic solvents
- Density: generally higher than the corresponding arene
Mechanisms of Halogenation
- Free radical halogenation:
- Initiation step: formation of a halogen radical
- Propagation step: halogen radical reacts with an alkane to form a haloalkane
- Termination step: combination of two radicals to form a non-reactive species
- Electrophilic halogenation:
- Formation of a halogen cation
- Reaction with an alkene to form a haloalkane
Synthesis Methods
- Free radical halogenation:
- Chlorination: reaction with chlorine gas
- Bromination: reaction with bromine gas
- Electrophilic halogenation:
- Chlorination: reaction with chlorine gas in the presence of a catalyst
- Bromination: reaction with bromine gas in the presence of a catalyst
- Nucleophilic substitution:
- Reaction with a halide ion to form a haloalkane
