Study Notes
Halogen Derivatives
Halogen derivatives are a class of organic compounds that contain a halogen atom (F, Cl, Br, I, or At) bonded to an alkyl or aryl group.
Types of Halogen Derivatives
- Alkyl halides: halogen atom bonded to an alkyl group (e.g., CH₃Cl, C₂H₅Br)
- Aryl halides: halogen atom bonded to an aryl group (e.g., C₆H₅Cl, C₆H₅Br)
- Haloalkenes: halogen atom bonded to an alkene (e.g., CH₂=CHCl, CH₂=CHBr)
- Haloarenes: halogen atom bonded to an arene (e.g., C₆H₅Cl, C₆H₅Br)
Physical Properties
- Boiling point: increases with increasing molecular weight and halogen atom size
- Solubility: generally soluble in organic solvents, but not in water
- Density: generally higher than water
Chemical Properties
- Nucleophilic substitution: halogen atom can be replaced by a nucleophile (e.g., OH-, CN-)
- Electrophilic substitution: halogen atom can be replaced by an electrophile (e.g., NO₂+, Cl₂)
- Elimination reactions: halogen atom can be removed, resulting in an alkene or arene
Preparation Methods
- Halogenation: reaction of a hydrocarbon with a halogen (e.g., Cl₂, Br₂)
- Substitution: reaction of a hydrocarbon with a halogen-containing compound (e.g., HCl, HBr)
- Organometallic reactions: reaction of a hydrocarbon with an organometallic compound (e.g., Grignard reagent)
Uses
- Solvents: used as solvents for various industrial and laboratory applications
- Pharmaceuticals: used as intermediates in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals
- Pesticides: used as pesticides and insecticides
- Refrigerants: used as refrigerants in refrigeration systems
