Chemical Properties of Haloalkanes ‘The chemical reactions of haloalkanes can be divided into following types: (a) Nucleophilie substitution reactions (0) Dehydrohalogenation or B-elimination reactions (©) Reaetion with metals (a) Nucleophilic substitution reactions: When an atom or group of aioms is replaced by a nucleophile, the reaction is called nucleophilic substitution reaction, In haloalkanes, the halogen atom is attached to the carbon atom.

Physical Properties of Haloarenes (a) Melting and boiling points: Boiling point of isomeric dihalobenzenes are very nearly same. However p-somer have higher melting point as compared (o their ortho and meta-isomers. [ts due to symmetry of pars-isomers that fits in crystal lattice better as compared to ortho and meta isomers. Haloalkanes and Haloarenes | 77 (6) Nature of CX bond: The C—X bond is polar as *X’ is more electronegative than carbon, The carbon haas partial positive charge whereas halogen has slight negative charge because shared pait of electrons. are more towards halogen atoms. ee cx Dipole moment of CH,Cl is higher than CH,F du to greater bond length in CL bond. 5. Chemical Properties of Haloarenes: (a) Nucleophilic substitution reactions of haloarenes Aryl halides are extremely less reactive towards nucleophilic substitution reactions due to the following, reasons: @ Resomance effect: In arylhalides CX bond acquires « partial double bond charweter due «0 resonanee, Asa resuli CX bond eleavage in aryl hahides i difficult than alky! halides and therelore they are less reactive towards nucleophilic substitution reaction. $—3—)-4_3 Canons Resonance hyd structure Difference in hybridisation: X-men Hh Sop tit onton i (iii) Instability of phenyl cation: In ease of haloarenes, the phenyl cation Formed as a result of self ionisation will not be stabilised by resonance and therefore Sy1 mechanism is ruled out (iy Because of the possible repulsion, it is less likely for the electron-rich nucleophile to approach cleetvon-rich areas. ‘However, at high temperature and pressure several nucleophilic suibstision reactions are carried out ‘© Substitution by —OlI group (Dow's process) oO ys 68, Oo om © Substitution by —CN group, cL uc.

Mechanism of Nucleophilic Substitution in Alkyl Halides ‘The nucleophilic substitution reactions in alkyl halides can take place by either of two mechanisms: Syl and Sy2 Substitution nucleophilic unimolecular (Sy1) It takes place in two steps and the reaction is of first order, In the first step, alky! halide undergoes slow heterolysis to produce carbonium ion (an intermediate) and a halide ion, In the second step, nucleophile rapidly combines with the carbonium ion to complete the Substitution resetion, Step 1: 1x Caoninn ion ‘caer R Re RS , Se Step 2: —- Ee Syl reactions of optically active hulides are accompanied by racemisalion, This is because the carbonium formed in the slow step being sp* hybridised is planar (achiral) therefore, the attack of nucleophile on it ean ‘occur from both the faces with equal ease giving a mixture containing two enantiomers in equal amounts, ‘This may be illusirated by hydrolysis of optically active 2-bromobutane, which gives (+) butan-2-ol. He 0 Hu oi on EE | fe Foi C een Geeta) us HCH, Nici, “cuch, CH Substitution nucleophilic bimolecular (Sy2) It takes place in one step and the reaction is of second order. In this process the nucleophile attacks the ‘pattally positive carbon of the CX bond of the substrate, alky! halide, from the back side of the C—X bond and the leaving group, X-, departs simultaneously, A a i He HL i “Transition state. H ‘S\2 reactions of optically active halides are accompanied by inversion of configuration. This is because the attack of nucleophile occurs trom a direction opposite to the one trom where the halogen atom leaves. ‘The order of reactivity of alkyl halides towards Sy1 and Sy2 reactions is as follows $y sactivity increases i ciiye ROK RK RO k © 2 reactivity increases 80 | Chemistry-XIl: Term-1 ‘An alkyl group at the a-carbon, being bigger in size than H atom, tends to block the approach of the ‘nucleophile to carbon due to steric hindrance in x2 mechanism and makes the reaction difficult to oceur. In the Syl mechanism, a carbocation is formed in the first, slow step. The more stable the carbocation, ‘more easily is the product formed, Tertiary alkyl halides undergo Sw reaction very fast beeause of the high, stability of tertiary carbocation, Pi Fei REM SOR R Primaay allylic and benzylic halides show higher reactivity in $1 reactions than other primary halides.

In the leaving group is very easy to leave, many carbocation intermediates are gencrated in the reaction and the reaction hasecl on Sy1 mechanism. If the leaving group is not easy to leave, the reaction is based om Sy2 ‘mechanism. Influences of solvent polarity: In Syl reaction, the polarity of the system increases from the reactant to the transition state, because polar solvent has a greater stabilizing effect on the cransition state dian the reactant, thereby reduce activation energy and accelerate the rea In Sx2 reaction, the polarity of the system generally does not change from the reactant to the Dieloalkanes and Haloarenes | 93 transition state and only charge dispersion occurs. At this time, polar solvent has a great stabilizing effect on Nu than the transition state, thereby increasing activation energy and slow down the reaction rate. For example, the decomposition rate (S,1) of tertiay ehlorobutane in 25°C water (dielectric constant 79) is 300000 times faster than in ethanol (dielectric constant 24). The reaction rate (8,2) of 2-bromopropane and NaOH in ethanol containing 40% water is twice slower than in absolute ethanol. Ia a word, the level of solvent polarity has influence ou both Sy1 and Sy? reactions, but with different results. ‘enerally speaking, weak polar solvent is favourable for Sy2 reaction, while strong polar solvent is favourable for Sy1 reaction, bee of polar solvent can halogenated hydrocarbon dissociate into carbocation andl halogen ion and solvents with a strong polarity is favourable for solvation of carbocation, increasing its stability Generally speaking, the substitution reaction of tertiary haloalkane is based on Syl mechanism in solvents with a strong polarity (for example, ethanol containing water) (Ding, ¥.
