5 Questions
What is the difference between haloalkanes and haloarenes?
Haloalkanes contain halogen atom(s) attached to the sp3 hybridised carbon atom of an alkyl group whereas haloarenes contain halogen atom(s) attached to sp2 hybridised carbon atom(s) of an aryl group.
What is the difference between primary, secondary and tertiary alkyl halides?
Primary alkyl halide has the halogen atom attached to a primary carbon atom, secondary alkyl halide has the halogen atom attached to a secondary carbon atom and tertiary alkyl halide has the halogen atom attached to a tertiary carbon atom.
What are allylic halides?
Compounds in which the halogen atom is bonded to an sp3-hybridised carbon atom adjacent to carbon-carbon double bond (C=C) i.e. to an allylic carbon.
What is thyroxine and what is its function in the body?
Thyroxine is an iodine-containing hormone produced by the body, the deficiency of which causes a disease called goiter.
What is the use of chloroquine?
Chloroquine is a synthetic halogen compound used for the treatment of malaria.
Study Notes
Haloalkanes and Haloarenes
- Haloalkanes are alkyl halides where halogen atom is bonded to a sp³ hybridized carbon atom
- Haloarenes are aromatic compounds where halogen atom is bonded to a sp² hybridized carbon atom
Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary Alkyl Halides
- Primary alkyl halides: halogen atom is bonded to a primary carbon atom (one alkyl group attached)
- Secondary alkyl halides: halogen atom is bonded to a secondary carbon atom (two alkyl groups attached)
- Tertiary alkyl halides: halogen atom is bonded to a tertiary carbon atom (three alkyl groups attached)
Allylic Halides
- Allylic halides are alkyl halides where halogen atom is bonded to a carbon atom that is adjacent to a carbon-carbon double bond
Thyroxine
- Thyroxine (T4) is a type of thyroid hormone produced by the thyroid gland
- Its function is to regulate growth and development, as well as metabolic rate
Chloroquine
- Chloroquine is a medication used to treat and prevent malaria, especially in areas where the disease is sensitive to the drug
- It is also used to treat certain autoimmune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis and lupus
