Reaction Mechanism : 2 marks Word problems (conversions) covering Properties and reactions of functional groups : 5 marks • The monohalogen derivatives of alkanes are called alkyl halides. Their names are derived by naming the attached alkyl group to halogen and adding the name of the halide. For example IUPAC Naming :
• Here, the monohalogen derivatives of
alkanes are named as haloalkanes. The position of the halogen atom and other substituents (alkyl groups) are indicated by suitable numbers i.e., 1,2,3.....etc. Common naming : Alkyl halide Haloarenes Haloarenes or aryl halides are named by adding the prefix 'halo' (fluoro, chloro, bromo, iodo) before the name of the aromatic hydrocarbon. In case of di-substituted compounds, the relative positions of the substituents 1,2; 1,3 and 1,4 are indicated by the prefixes ortho (o-), meta (m-) and para (p-) respectively Nature of C-X Bond Most of the reactions of halides involve the cleavage of C-X bond. Larger the bond dissociation energy of the C-X bond, smaller is the reactivity. The bond dissociation energy decreases with the increase in the size of halogen atom, i.e., C-Cl > C-Br > C-I. Methods of preparation of haloalkanes From hydrocarbons: When pure components are needed, they can be obtained by fractional distillation. From alkenes 2.By the action of phosphorus halides
Bromoalkanes and iodoalkanes are prepared by the
action of PBr3 and PI3respectively on alcohols. As PBr3 and PI3, are not very stable compounds, they are prepared in situ by the action of red phosphorus on Br2, or I2. 3.with thionyl chloride:
This method is preferred than other
methods because both the products of the reaction (SO2 and HCl) are gases and can easily escape leaving behind pure alkyl halide. By halide exchange Finkelstein reaction. From silver salts of acids Borodine Hundsdiecker reaction
Chloroalkanes can also be obtained
by this method by using Cl2 instead of Br2, but, the yield of hloroalkanes is very poor. Preparative methods of haloarenes 1)Direct halogenation of aromatic ring 4.Balz-Schiemann reaction
