Vidyamandir Classes Halogen Containing Organic Compounds ALKYL HALIDES : [RX] Section - 1 Preparation of Alkyl Halide: In the ‘Hydrocarbons’ chapter, you have observed that hydrocarbons react with halogens to form Organic Halide. ‘These compounds are called halogen derivatives of hydrocarbons, Here, the halogen atom (X) acts asa functional group and is attached to the carbon atom by a covalent bond, These organic halides are of two types: ky! Halids (aliphatic) and. “Aryl talides (aromatic). ‘The alkyl halides are classified into three categories based on type of carbon atom to which the halogen atom is attached. Primazy (1°) Halide : RCH, Secondary (2°) Halides:R,CHX Tertiary (3°) Halide :R,CX (R: alkyl radical, X:F,CLBr,D) ‘The Organic Halides are further classified as monobalides, dihelides and tihalides depending upon number of halogen atoms, vichaloderivative of CH, are known as HALOFORM, Fully halogenated hydrocarbons are also called pethalohydrocarbons. (C,X,,.-2).For Example :Perfluoroethane C.F, Halogenation (a) From Alkanes: Halogenation of alkanes is carried out in the presence of heat or light, Chlorination is fast, bromination is. slow while directiodination isnot possible as the reaction is reversible Direct halogenation does not form pure mono-halogen derivatives since a mixture of polyhalogen derivatives is always ‘obtained, For example, in chlorination of Methane we get amixture of products. cH, —2__, cuca + cul, s+ cH, + cy, Methane hv or 520-670K ” Chloromethane _Dichloromethane Trichioromethane ‘Tetrachloromethane (chiorform) In case of higher alkanes, even mono-halogenation gives a mixture ofall the possible isomeric haloalkanes. cH,cH,cH, 2 ,cH,-cH, -CH,-cl + CH,-CH(C)-CH, Propane” 288K .chioropropane(@o%) _-2-Ciloropropane(55%) CH,CH,CH,CH, 92", CH,CH,CH,CH,C] + CH,CH, -CH(C)-CH, 298K 1 chlorobutane 28%) 2 Chlorobutane (72%) In general, the ease of substitution of various hydrogens follows the sequence | > 2° > 1" > CW Jodinntion is reversible, butt may be carried out inthe presence of an oxidising agent, such as, HIO,, HNO, , HgO, etc. which oxidises HI sit is formed.

For example, 3CH,~ CCl ~ CH, + 2SbF, —s 3CH,-CK,-CH, + 28bCl, 2,2-Dichloropropane 2,2-Diflusrepropane (b) From Alkenes Alkenes react with halogen acids to form haloalkanes. The order of reactivity is : HI> HBr> HC1> HF. CH, +HX —> RCH-CH, I x The unsymmetrical alkenes follows Markovnikov’s rule during addition forming secondary or tertiary alkyl halides predominantly. Notes In presence of peroxides, the addition of HBr only (not HCI or Hl) to unsymmetrical alkenes takes place via Anti Markovnikov's rule forming primary alkyl bromides. Thisis known as yo video//eesor Kharasch effect HBr CH,-CH-CH, (Markomitov'sadition) CH,CH=CH,— hae Peroxide) (Anti-Markownikov's addition) (c)_ Allylic halogenation : When alkenes (except Ethylene) are heated with Cl, or Br, ata high temperature of about 773 K, the hydrogen atom at the allylic carbon (ie., carbon next to the double bond) is substituted by a halogen atom. For example ci, -cH=ct, +c, 2% cic, cen, 3-Chloroprop-t-ene (Ally chloride) However, a more specific reagent for allylic bromination is N-bromosuccinimide (NBS). ,c0 cH,-cH=cH, + Sear Be cnco 2 “H = CH, (Ally bromide) Allylic chlorination ean also be carried out with sulphuryl chloride. 415K, by CH, -CH=CH, +S0,C, SEER ClCH, ~CH=CH, + HCl +0, 2 EEE, sere stucy course for 112£€ with Ontine Support Ric eu ee Organic Halides 2. From Alcohols : Generally alkyl halides are prepared from alcohols by ceplacement of -OH group by an hhslogen ion. This is usually achieved by using HX or PCI, (a) By the action of Halogen acids : Catalyst R-OH+HK >R-X+H,0 ‘Note: () The order of reactivity for halogen acids is : HI > HBr > HC1 and for alcohol is : 3° alcohol > 2° alcohol > 1° alcohol.

R-OH + Socl, Pailin’, C14 $0, T+HCIT Reflux Thionyl chloride method is preferred over hydrogen chloride or phosphorus chloride method for the preparation of Chloroalkanes since both the by-products (SO, and HCI in this reaction being gases escape, leaving behind chloroalkanes in almost pure state ‘Note: Bromides and iodides are not prepared by this method, because thionyl bromide is unstable and thionyl iodide does not exist 3.

The monofluoro alkanes are prepared by heating alkyl halides with KF in diethyl glycol KE. RX (CHO), RF +KX Physical Properties : Physical state, colour, odour, ete : Alkyl halides are colourless when pure, but bromides and particularly iodides develop colour when exposed (o light, Methyl chloride, Methyl bromide, Ethyl chloride and some Chlorofluoromethanes and Chlorofuloroethanes are gases atroom temperature, Other chloro, bromo, iodo compounds are ether liquids or solids. Many volatile halogen compounds have sweet smell 2. Melting points and boiling points : The melting points and boiling points of haloalkanes are several degrees higher than those of parent alkanes mainly due to greater magnitude of van der Waals forces of attraction, For the same alkyl group, the boiling points of haloalkanes decrease in the order : RI> RBr> RCI> RF. This is because with the inerease in the size and mass of the halogen, the magnitude of the van der Waal’s forces of attraction increases. For isomeric alky1 halides, the boiling points decrease with branching, because with branching the surface ares ofthe alkyl halide decreases and hence the magnitude of the van der Waal’s forces of attraction decreases. ‘Tae boiling points of chloro, bromo and iodo compounds inerease as the number of halogen atoms increases. 3. Solubility : Even though haloalkanes (dipole moment, 2.05 — 2.15 D) are polar molecules still they are insoluble in water, This is due to the reason that haloalkanes can neither form hydrogen bonds with water nor can they break the Bydrogen bonds already existing between water molecules. However, they are quite soluble in organic solvents of low polarity such as petroleum ether, benzene, ether chloroform, carbon tetrachloride ete 4, Density Their relati Alkyl fluorides and chlorides are generally lighter than water whereas alkyl bromies and iodides are heavier, densities follow the order: RI> RBr> RCI. "The density increases with increasing number and atomic mass of the halogen, CHCl, < CHL, < CC, 5. Stability : Since the stength of the C—X bond decreases in the order : C-F>C—Cl > C-Br> CI, therefore stability of the haloalkanes having same alkyl group is in the order: R-F>R-C1>R-Br>R-L. ‘Thatis why alkyl iodides, on standing become violet or brown because of their decomposition in presence of light to give iodine. ap-1 HEM, RR +I, 6.

The most important type is alkyl magnesium halide. Itis represented as RMeX (X: CL, BrorD) Generally Grignard Reagent is prepared by eating an organic halide with magnesium metal in ether as solvent. sedluxin RX + Mg Senex. Alkyl magnesium halide Reflux is a technique, allowing one to boil the contents ofa vessel over an extended period, 'R’ may be primary (1°), secondary (2°) or tertiary (3°) alkyl, may be replaced by cycloalkyl, alkenyl, aryl or alkynyl group. The halide ions are Cl, Br or I. Fluorides are least reactive, so they are not considered. The reactivity of halides follows the order : > Br> C1>F. Alkyl halides are more reactive than aryl and vinyl halides. Azyl and vinyl halides ate best prepared by using THF (Tetrahydrofuran) instead of ether as solvent. THE CH, = CHCL+ Mg THES cu, — CHMgCL Sere ea ‘Note In the preparation of Grignard reagents, ether asa solvent is must. The Grignard reagent are unstable in aqueous medium so avoid aqueous medium, Properties : Grignard Reagent, RMgX is avery strong base because of polarisation of R-Mg bond = RMX. Itabstracts a proton from species containing acidic hydrogen such as water (—O—H), 1°, 2° and 3° alcohols (—O—H),1° and 2° amines (CNH, terminal alkynes (C= C -H). Inthe reactions with these species, a protons transferred tothe negatively polarised carbon atom of the Grignard Reagent to give a hydrocarbon Grignard Reagent, RMgX is not only a strong base, but also a strong niicleophile de,, it shows a strong tendency to donate the electron cloud to the species seeking electrons (#lectrophiles). Reactions As Base Grignard reagent asa base reacts with compounds such as acids, water, primary alcohols, primary amines, secondary amine and. terminal alkynes, all containing active Hydrogen atom (H) to give alkanes. “This reaction is also used to determine active hydrogen atoms in the onganic compound” os 3 & -Mgl + HO -~ H —> RH + Mg(@OH)I ce R—-Mgl + R’-O-H —> RH + Mg(OR’)I soe Mg] +R’ NH ~H —> RH + Mg(NHR’)I xs R-Mgl + R'- C= C-H —> RH+R’-C=C-Mgl Sel Study Course for IEE with Onne Support APTI 35 Orgar Halides CT CIUCUT Eee Reactions As Nucleophile : Grignard reagent acts asa strong nucleophile and shows nucleophilic addition reactions to give various products.
