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.
This quiz covers the major products formed during the halogenation of cycloalkanes and cycloalkenes, and the common reagents used in the process.
