Haloalkanes And Haloarenes Flashcards
State Wurtz rxn
2RX + Na = RR + 2NaX
State Finkelstein rxn
RX + NaI = RI +NaX
State Swartz rxn
RX + AgF = RF +AgX
What are Haloalkanes
Open chain of CX derivatives with halogen attached to sp3 hybridised C are haloalkanes
What are haloarenes
Close chain of CX derivatives where halogen is attached to sp2 hybridised C are haloarenes
Name a disease because of iodine deficiency
Goiter
How to prepare haloalkanes from alcohol
ROH + HX = RX +H2O
OR
ROH + PCl5 = RCl + POCl3
State Free Radical Halogenation
R + Cl2 + UV rays = RCl
How to create haloalkane form alkene
R=R + HX = R-RCl
How to prepare haloarenes form toulene
Toulene +X2 = o-halotoulene
Why we do not prepare flouro compounds from toulene
Due to high reactivity of Flouro compounds
State Sandmeyer rxn
Anilene + NaNO2 = BDC
BDC + Cu2X2 = haloarene
State physical properties of RX
Colourless when pure
Sweet smell
High MP and BP
(Boiling point decrease with increase in branching)
State NSR of haloalkanes
Nu- + RX = RNu + X-
What are ambident Nucleophile
Nucleophiles having two or more Nucleophilic centers
Examples CN, NO2
