The common names of alkyl halides are derived by naming the alkyl group followed by the halide. Alkyl halides are named as halosubstituted hydrocarbons in the IUPAC system of nomenclature. Haloarenes are the common as well as IUPAC names of aryl halides. For dihalogen derivatives, the prefixes o-, m-, p- are used in common system but in IUPAC system, the numerals 1,2; 1,3 and 1,4 are used. alkylidenelThe dihaloalkanes having the same type of halogen atoms are named dihalides as alkylidene or alkylene dihalides. The dihalo-compounds having same R Choi'Ll type of halogen atoms are further classified as geminal halides (halogen atoms are present on the same carbon atom) and vicinal halides (halogen alleylene atoms are present on the adjacent carbon atoms).

Since the size of halogen atom increases as we go down the group in the periodic table, fluorine atom is the smallest and iodine atom, the largest. Consequently the carbon-halogen bond length also increases from C4F to C4I. Some typical bond lengths, bond enthalpies and dipole moments are given in Table 10.2. 285 Haloalkanes and Haloarenes C:\Chemistry-12\Unit-10.pmd 28.02.07  यश TG~ @bohring_bot Irs Table 10.2: Carbon-Halogen (C4X) Bond Lengths, Bond Enthalpies and Dipole Moments Bond Bond length/pm C-X Bond enthalpies/ kJmol-1 Dipole moment/Debye CH33F 139 452 1.847 I CH33 Cl 178 351 1.860 I Max CH33Br 193 293 1.830 II CH33I 214 234 1.636 II Min 4 Methods 10.4 e h d of 10.4.1 From Alcohols Preparation r aarr i Alkyl halides are best prepared from alcohols, which are easily accessible. The hydroxyl group of an alcohol is replaced by halogen on reaction with concentrated halogen acids, phosphorus halides or thionyl chloride. Thionyl chloride is preferred because the other two products are escapable gases. Hence the reaction gives pure alkyl halides. Phosphorus tribromide and triiodide are usually generated in situ (produced in the reaction mixture) by the reaction of red phosphorus with bromine and OH iodine respectively. The preparation of alkyl chloride is carried out either w by passing dry hydrogen chloride gas through a solution of alcohol or SN ke by heating a solution of alcohol in concentrated aqueous acid. Evita ce Racemic mix GT GT 0Ht my 2nd The reactions of primary and secondary alcohols with HX require f the presence of a catalyst, ZnCl2. With tertiary alcohols, the reaction is conducted by simply shaking with concentrated HCl at room HI 2nd temperature. Constant boiling with HBr (48%) is used for preparing 2 04 1 alkyl bromide. Good yields of R4I may be obtained by heating alcohols i 27 with sodium or potassium iodide in 95% phosphoric acid. The order of reactivity of alcohols with a given haloacid is 3 >2 >1. The above H HI Eon method is not applicable for the preparation of aryl halides because the Rj simpleshaking carbon-oxygen bond in phenols has a partial double bond character and is difficult to break being stronger than a single bond (Unit 11, Class XI). no need of2nd 10.4.2 From (a) By free radical halogenation Hydrocarbons Free radical chlorination or bromination of alkanes gives a complex Chemistry 286 constant R Br ROH HBy Boiling 48 Phosphoric R Oh NAI 951 D R goodyield or acir C:\Chemistry-12\Unit-10.pmd 28.02.07 KI  यश TG~ @bohring_bot mixture of isomeric mono- and polyhaloalkanes, which is difficult to separate as pure compounds.

In the given molecule, there are four different types of hydrogen atoms. o n Solution Replacement of these hydrogen atoms will give the following (CH3)2CHCH2CH2Cl (CH3)2CHCH(Cl)CH3 (CH3)2C(Cl)CH2CH3 CH3CH(CH2Cl)CH2CH3 (b) By electrophilic substitution Aryl chlorides and bromides can be easily prepared by electrophilic substitution of arenes with chlorine and bromine respectively in the presence of Lewis acid catalysts like iron or iron(III) chloride. EEpisLated due to difference The ortho and para isomers can be easily separated due to large in M P difference in their melting points. Reactions with iodine are reversible in nature and require the presence of an oxidising agent (HNO3, HIO4) to oxidise the HI formed during iodination. Fluoro compounds are not prepared by this method due to high reactivity of fluorine. (c) Sandmeyer9s reaction When a primary aromatic amine, dissolved or suspended in cold aqueous mineral acid, is treated with sodium nitrite, a diazonium salt is formed (Unit 13, Class XII). Mixing the solution of freshly prepared diazonium salt with cuprous chloride or cuprous bromide results in the replacement of the diazonium group by 3Cl or 3Br. cold aq mineral acid 287 Haloalkanes and Haloarenes C:\Chemistry-12\Unit-10.pmd 28.02.07  यश TG~ @bohring_bot Replacement of the diazonium group by iodine does not require the presence of cuprous halide and is done simply by shaking the diazonium salt with potassium iodide. (d) From alkenes (i) Addition of hydrogen halides: An alkene is converted to corresponding alkyl halide by reaction with hydrogen chloride, hydrogen bromide or hydrogen iodide. Propene yields two products, however only one predominates as per Markovnikov9s rule. (Unit 13, Class XI) (ii) Addition of halogens: In the laboratory, addition of bromine in CCl4 to an alkene resulting in discharge of reddish brown colour of bromine constitutes an important method for the detection of double bond in a molecule. The addition results in the synthesis of vic-dibromides, which are colourless (Unit 13, Class XI). mp e 10.4 Example 04 Write the products of the following reactions: Solution o o Chemistry 288 C:\Chemistry-12\Unit-10.pmd 28.02.07  यश TG~ @bohring_bot 10.4.3 Halogen Alkyl iodides are often prepared by the reaction of alkyl chlorides/ Exchange bromides with NaI in dry acetone. This reaction is known as Finkelstein reaction. NaCl or NaBr thus formed is precipitated in dry acetone. It facilitates the forward reaction according to Le Chatelier9s Principle. The synthesis of alkyl fluorides is best accomplished by heating an alkyl chloride/bromide in the presence of a metallic fluoride such as AgF, Hg2F2, CoF2 or SbF3. The reaction is termed as Swarts reaction.

Higher members are liquids or solids. As we have already learnt, molecules of organic T halogen compounds are generally polar. Due to greater polarity as well as higher molecular mass as compared to the parent hydrocarbon, the F intermolecular forces of attraction (dipole-dipole and van der Waals) Cydfluoro are stronger in the halogen derivatives. That is why the boiling points of chlorides, bromides and iodides are considerably higher than those chloro methane of the hydrocarbons of comparable molecular mass. The attractions get stronger as the molecules get bigger in size and have more electrons. The pattern of variation of boiling points of different halides is depicted in Fig. 10.1. For the same alkyl group, the boiling points of alkyl halides decrease in the order: RI> RBr> RCl> RF. This is because with the increase in size and mass of halogen atom, the magnitude of van der Waal forces increases. Fig. 10.1: Comparison of boiling points of some alkyl halides The boiling points of isomeric haloalkanes decrease with increase in branching (Unit 12, Class XI). For example, 2-bromo-2-methylpropane has the lowest boiling point among the three isomers. l z z n i so neo Boiling points of isomeric dihalobenzenes are very nearly the same. However, the para-isomers are high melting as compared to their ortho- and meta-isomers. It is due to symmetry of para-isomers that fits in crystal lattice better as compared to ortho- and meta-isomers.

In order for a haloalkane to dissolve in water, energy is required to overcome the attractions between the haloalkane molecules and break the hydrogen bonds between water molecules. Less energy is released when new attractions are set up between the haloalkane and the water molecules as these are not as strong as the original hydrogen bonds in water. As a result, the solubility of haloalkanes in water is low. However, haloalkanes tend to dissolve in organic solvents because the new intermolecular attractions between haloalkanes and solvent molecules have much the same strength as the ones being broken in the separate haloalkane and solvent molecules.

(i) Nucleophilic substitution reactions In this type of reaction, a nucleophile reacts with haloalkane (the substrate) having a partial positive charge on the carbon atom bonded 291 Haloalkanes and Haloarenes C:\Chemistry-12\Unit-10.pmd 28.02.07  यश TG~ @bohring_bot to halogen. A substitution reaction takes place and halogen atom, called leaving group departs as halide ion. Since the substitution reaction is initiated by a nucleophile, it is called nucleophilic substitution reaction. It is one of the most useful classes of organic reactions of alkyl halides in which halogen is bonded to sp3 hybridised carbon. The products formed by the reaction of haloalkanes with some common nucleophiles are given in Table 10.4.

Actually cyanide group is a hybrid of two contributing structures and therefore can act as a nucleophile in two different ways [ C N :C=N ], i.e., linking through carbon atom resulting in alkyl cyanides and through nitrogen atom leading to isocyanides. Similarly nitrite ion also represents an ambident nucleophile with two different points of linkage [3O4 =O]. The linkage through oxygen results in alkyl nitrites while through nitrogen atom, it leads to nitroalkanes.

Explain. KCN is predominantly ionic and provides cyanide ions in solution. Solution S llutio uti o Although both carbon and nitrogen atoms are in a position to donate electron pairs, the attack takes place mainly through carbon atom and not through nitrogen atom since C4C bond is more stable than C4N bond. However, AgCN is mainly covalent in nature and nitrogen is free to donate electron pair forming isocyanide as the main product. Mechanism: This reaction has been found to proceed by two different mechanims which are described below: (a) Substitution nucleophilic bimolecular (SN2) The reaction between CH3Cl and hydroxide ion to yield methanol and chloride ion follows a second order kinetics, i.e., the rate depends upon the concentration of both the reactants. As you have already learnt in Section 12.3.2 of Class XI, the solid wedge represents the bond coming out of the paper, dashed line going down the paper and a straight line representing bond in the plane of the paper. This can be represented diagrammatically as shown in Fig. 10.2. Fig. 10.2: Red dot represents the incoming hydroxide ion and green dot represents the outgoing halide ion It depicts a bimolecular nucleophilic displacement (SN2) reaction; the incoming nucleophile interacts with alkyl halide causing the carbon- halide bond to break while forming a new carbon-OH bond. These two In the year 1937, processes take place simultaneously in a single step and no intermediate Edward Davies Hughes and Sir Christopher is formed. As the reaction progresses and the bond between the Ingold proposed a nucleophile and the carbon atom starts forming, the bond between mechanism for an SN2 carbon atom and leaving group weakens. As this happens, the reaction. configuration of carbon atom under attack inverts in much the same way as an umbrella is turned inside out when caught in a strong wind, while the leaving group is pushed away. This process is called as inversion of configuration. In the transition state, the carbon atom is simultaneously bonded to incoming nucleophile and the outgoing leaving 293 Haloalkanes and Haloarenes C:\Chemistry-12\Unit-10.pmd 28.02.07  यश TG~ @bohring_bot T S group and such structures are unstable and cannot be isolated. This is because the carbon atom in the transition state is simultaneously bonded to five atoms and therefore is unstable. Since this reaction requires the approach of the nucleophile to the carbon bearing the leaving group, the presence of bulky substituents Hughes worked under Ingold and earned a on or near the carbon atom have a dramatic inhibiting effect.

Tertiary halides are the least reactive because bulky groups hinder the approaching nucleophiles. Thus the order of reactivity followed is: Primary halide > Secondary halide > Tertiary halide. Fig.10.3: Steric effects in SN2 reaction. The relative rate of SN2 reaction is given in parenthesis (b) Substitution nucleophilic unimolecular (SN1) SN1 reactions are generally carried out in polar protic solvents (like water, alcohol, acetic acid, etc.). The reaction between tert-butyl bromide and hydroxide ion yields tert-butyl alcohol and follows the first order kinetics, i.e., the rate of reaction depends upon the concentration of only one reactant, which is tert- butyl bromide. tag It occurs in two steps. In step I, the polarised C4Br bond undergoes slow cleavage to produce a carbocation and a bromide ion. The carbocation thus formed is then attacked by nucleophile in step II to complete the substitution reaction. Chemistry 294 C:\Chemistry-12\Unit-10.pmd 28.02.07  यश TG~ @bohring_bot Step I is the slowest and reversible. It involves the C3Br bond breaking for which the energy is obtained through solvation of halide ion with the proton of protic solvent. Since the rate of reaction depends upon the slowest step, the rate of reaction depends only on the concentration of alkyl halide and not on the concentration of hydroxide ion. Further, greater the stability of carbocation, greater will be its ease of formation from alkyl halide and faster will be the rate of reaction. In case of alkyl halides, 30 alkyl halides undergo SN1 reaction 0 very fast because of the high stability of 3 carbocations. We can sum up the order of reactivity of alkyl halides towards S N1 and SN2 reactions as follows: For the same reasons, allylic and benzylic halides show high reactivity towards the SN1 reaction. The carbocation thus formed gets stabilised through resonance (Unit 12, Class XI) as shown below. For a given alkyl group, the reactivity of the halide, R-X, follows the same order in both the mechanisms R3I> R3Br>R3Cl>>R3F.

As iodine is a better leaving group because of its large size, it will be released at a faster rate in the presence of incoming nucleophile. Predict the order of reactivity of the following compounds in SN1 and E l 10.7 Example 07 SN2 reactions: (i) The four isomeric bromobutanes (ii) C6H5CH2Br, C6H5CH(C6H5)Br, C6H5CH(CH3)Br, C6H5C(CH3)(C6H5)Br 295 Haloalkanes and Haloarenes NP Tips Nib C:\Chemistry-12\Unit-10.pmd 28.02.07 year on 3  यश TG~ Br @bohring_bot Ni i l z j snot c Nb a far S l ti (i) CH3CH2CH2CH2Br < (CH3)2CHCH2Br < CH3CH2CH(Br)CH3 < (CH3)3CBr (SN1) Solution CH3CH2CH2CH2Br > (CH3)2CHCH2Br > CH3CH2CH(Br)CH3 > (CH3)3CBr (SN2) Of the two primary bromides, the carbocation intermediate derived from (CH3)2CHCH2Br is more stable than derived from CH3CH2CH2CH2Br because of greater electron donating inductive effect of (CH3)2CH- group. Therefore, (CH3)2CHCH2Br is more reactive than CH3CH2CH2CH2Br in SN1 reactions. CH3CH2CH(Br)CH3 is a secondary bromide and (CH3)3CBr is a tertiary bromide. Hence the above order is followed in SN1. The reactivity in SN2 reactions follows the reverse order as the steric hinderance around the electrophilic carbon increases in that order. (ii) C6H5C(CH3)(C6H5)Br > C6H5CH(C6H5)Br > C6H5CH(CH3)Br > C6H5CH2Br (SN1) C6H5C(CH3)(C6H5)Br < C6H5CH(C6H5)Br < C6H5CH(CH3)Br < C6H5CH2Br (SN2) Of the two secondary bromides, the carbocation intermediate obtained from C6H5CH(C6H5)Br is more stable than obtained from C6H5CH(CH3)Br because it is stabilised by two phenyl groups due to resonance. Therefore, the former bromide is more reactive than the latter in SN1 reactions. A phenyl group is bulkier than a methyl group. Therefore, C6H5CH(C6H5)Br is less reactive than C6H5CH(CH3)Br in SN2 reactions. (c) Stereochemical aspects of nucleophilic substitution reactions A SN2 reaction proceeds with complete stereochemical inversion while a SN1 reaction proceeds with racemisation. In order to understand this concept, we need to learn some basic stereochemical principles and notations (optical activity, chirality, retention, inversion, racemisation, etc.). (i) Plane polarised light and optical activity: Certain compounds rotate the plane polarised light (produced by passing ordinary William Nicol (1768- light through Nicol prism) when it is passed through their 1851) developed the first solutions. Such compounds are called optically active prism that produced plane polarised light. compounds. The angle by which the plane polarised light is rotated is measured by an instrument called polarimeter. If the compound rotates the plane polarised light to the right, i.e., clockwise direction, it is called dextrorotatory (Greek for right rotating) or the d-form and is indicated by placing a positive (+) sign before the degree of rotation. If the light is rotated towards left (anticlockwise direction), the compound is said to be laevo- rotatory or the l-form and a negative (3) sign is placed before the degree of rotation. Such (+) and (3) isomers of a compound are called optical isomers and the phenomenon is termed as optical isomerism. (ii) Molecular asymmetry, chirality and enantiomers: The observation of Louis Pasteur (1848) that crystals of certain compounds exist in the form of mirror images laid the foundation of modern stereochemistry. He demonstrated that aqueous solutions of both types of crystals showed optical rotation, equal in magnitude (for solution of equal concentration) but opposite in direction. He believed that this difference in Chemistry 296 C:\Chemistry-12\Unit-10.pmd 28.02.07  यश TG~ @bohring_bot optical activity was associated with the three dimensional arrangements of atoms (configurations) in two types of crystals. Jacobus Hendricus Dutch scientist, J. Van9t Hoff and French scientist, C. Le Bel in Van9t Hoff (1852-1911) the same year (1874), independently argued that the spatial received the first Nobel arrangement of four groups (valencies) around a central carbon Prize in Chemistry in is tetrahedral and if all the substituents attached to that carbon 1901 for his work on are different, such a carbon is called asymmetric carbon or solutions. stereocentre. The resulting molecule would lack symmetry and is referred to as asymmetric molecule. The asymmetry of the molecule is responsible for the optical activity in such organic compounds. The symmetry and asymmetry are also observed in many day to day objects: a sphere, a cube, a cone, are all identical to their mirror images and can be superimposed. However, many objects are non superimposable on their mirror images. For example, your left and right hand look similar but if you put your left hand on your right hand, they do not coincide. The objects which are non- superimposable on their mirror image (like a pair of hands) are said to be chiral and this property is known as chirality. While the objects, which are, superimposable on their mirror images are called achiral. The above test of molecular chirality can be applied to organic molecules by constructing models and its mirror images or by drawing three dimensional structures and attempting to superimpose them in our minds. There are other aids, however, that can assist us in recognising chiral molecules. One such aid is the presence of a single asymmetric carbon atom. Let us consider Fig 10.4: Some common examples of chiral and two simple molecules propan-2-ol and achiral objects butan-2-ol and their mirror images. As you can see very clearly, propan-2-ol does not contain an asymmetric carbon, as all the four groups attached to the tetrahedral carbon are not different. Thus it is an achiral molecule. 297 Haloalkanes and Haloarenes C:\Chemistry-12\Unit-10.pmd 28.02.07  यश TG~ @bohring_bot Butan-2-ol has four different groups attached to the tetrahedral carbon and as expected is chiral. Some common examples of chiral molecules such as 2-chlorobutane, 2, 3-dihyroxypropanal, (OHC3CHOH3CH2OH), bromochloro-iodomethane (BrClCHI), 2-bromopropanoic acid (H3C3CHBr3COOH), etc. Fig. 10.5: A chiral molecule The stereoisomers related to each other as non- and its mirror image superimposable mirror images are called enantiomers (Fig. 10.5). Enantiomers possess identical physical properties namely, melting point, boiling point, solubility, refractive index, etc. They only differ with respect to the rotation of plane polarised light. If one of the enantiomer is dextro rotatory, the other will be laevo rotatory. However, the sign of optical rotation is not necessarily related to the absolute configuration of the molecule. A mixture containing two enantiomers in equal proportions will have zero optical rotation, as the rotation due to one isomer will be cancelled by the rotation due to the other isomer. Such a mixture is known as racemic mixture or racemic modification. A racemic mixture is represented by prefixing dl or ( ) before the name, for example ( ) butan-2-ol. The process of conversion of enantiomer into a racemic x mixture is known as racemisation. Example E a l 10.8. Identify chiral and achiral molecules in each of the following pair of compounds.

It is also the configurational correlation when a chemical species XCabc is converted into the chemical species YCabc having the same relative configuration. In general, if during a reaction, no bond to the stereocentre is broken, the product will have the same general configuration of groups around the stereocentre as that of reactant. Such a reaction is said to proceed with retention of the configuration. Consider as an allotted example, the reaction that takes place when (3)-2-methylbutan-1-ol is heated with concentrated hydrochloric acid. noBIBI the Bond centre Retention pyoKI retention to Renfroe (iv) Inversion, retention and racemisation: There are three outcomes for a reaction at an asymmetric carbon atom. Consider the replacement of a group X by Y in the following reaction; If (A) is the only compound obtained, the process is called retention of configuration. If (B) is the only compound obtained, the process is called inversion of configuration. If a 50:50 mixture of the above two is obtained then the process is called racemisation and the product is optically inactive, as one isomer will rotate light in the direction opposite to another. 299 Haloalkanes and Haloarenes C:\Chemistry-12\Unit-10.pmd 28.02.07  यश TG~ @bohring_bot reactant dord r i n If notn seereport Now let us have a fresh look at SN1 and SN2 mechanisms by taking examples of optically active alkyl halides. In case of optically active alkyl halides, the product formed as a start a result of SN2 mechanism has the inverted configuration as compared to the reactant. This is because the nucleophile attaches itself on the side opposite to the one where the halogen atom is present. When (3)-2-bromooctane is allowed to react with sodium hydroxide, (+)-octan-2-ol is formed with the 3OH group occupying the position goer opposite to what bromide had occupied. wgyopid arg Thus, SN2 reactions of optically active halides are accompanied by inversion of configuration. In case of optically active alkyl halides, S N1 reactions are accompanied by racemisation. Can you think of the reason why it 2 happens? Actually the carbocation formed in the slow step being sp hybridised is planar (achiral). The attack of the nucleophile may be accomplished from either side resulting in a mixture of products, one having the same configuration (the 3OH attaching on the same position as halide ion) and the other having opposite configuration (the 3OH attaching on the side opposite to halide ion). This may be illustrated by hydrolysis of optically active 2-bromobutane, which results in the formation of ( )-butan-2-ol. 2. Elimination reactions When a haloalkane with -hydrogen atom is heated with alcoholic solution of potassium hydroxide, there is elimination of hydrogen atom from -carbon and a halogen atom from the -carbon atom. As a result, an alkene is formed as a product. Since -hydrogen atom is involved in elimination, it is often called -elimination.

These form part of a pattern first observed by Russian chemist, Alexander Zaitsev (also pronounced as Saytzeff) who in 1875 formulated a rule which can be summarised as
