halo alkanes and haloarenes Flashcards
all reactions
alchohol with hcl
in the presense of ZnCl2 we get R-CL + H2O
mixture of conc HCl and anhyd ZnCL2 is
lucas reagent
3 degree alcohol with HCl
R-Cl +H2O without the presence of ZnCL2
alcohol with HBr
in the presence of NaBR + H2SO4 because HBr is not readily available product is R-Br + H2O
alcohol with HI
in the presence of KI + 95% h3PO4 gives R-I + H2O
alcohol reaction with PCl3
3R-OH + PCl3 gives 3R-Cl + H3PO3(phosporic acid)
alcohol reaction with PCl5
R-OH + PCl5 gives R-CL + HCl + POCl3
why do we not use PBr3 and PI3
they are very unstable compounds
alcohol reaction with SOCl2
R-Cl + SO2 gas + HCl gas
why do we not use SOBr and SOI
they are very unstable compounds
why do we not do fluorination
the F-F bond in F2 is very strong it needs alot of energy to break the bond by giving huge amount of energy to break it will release huge amount of energy when it breaks which will cause and exothermic reaction which is uncontrolable therefore fluorine is not preferred
chlorination and bromination takes place in the presence of
UV light
why do we not use iodisation
this process is very slow and reversible so its not preferred
why do we not do chlorination and bromination
it forms mixtures of poly haloalkanes which is very difficult to seperate
reaction with symmetrical alkene and H-X
incase of symmetrical alkane the halogen can go to any one of the carbon atom and the hydrogen will go to the other carbon atom which is left out
