Study Notes
Halogenation of Cycloalkanes and Cycloalkenes
Products of Halogenation
- Cycloalkanes undergo halogenation to form monohalogenated cycloalkanes.
- Cycloalkenes undergo halogenation to form dihalogenated cycloalkenes.
Reagents Used in Halogenation
- Bromine liquid (Br2) is commonly used as a reagent in the halogenation of cycloalkanes and cycloalkenes.
Role of Solvent in Halogenation
- The solvent provides a medium for the reaction to occur.
Confirmation of Halogenation Reaction
- The success of the halogenation reaction can be confirmed by observing a change in color.
Reactivity of Cycloalkanes and Cycloalkenes
- Cycloalkenes are more reactive towards halogenation than cycloalkanes due to the presence of a double bond.
Type of Reaction
- Halogenation is a type of addition reaction.
Effect of Double Bond on Reactivity
- The presence of a double bond in cycloalkenes increases their reactivity towards halogenation compared to cycloalkanes.
