Session objectives • Classification • Nature of C — X bond • Preparation of alkyl halides • Physical and chemical properties of alkyl halides • Substitution reaction: SN1 and SN2 reactions
Elimination reaction • E1 • E2 • E1 c B • Ei
E1 Mechanism
Elimination reaction 3° > 2° > 1° > CH3 Rate = k[RX]1
E2 Rate = k[RX] [Base] = k[CH3CH2Cl]
E1 cB carbanion stabilization by the participation of –R (conjugation), –I effect etc. Mechanism
Ei Observed for pyrolytic elimination for xanthates (Tschugaev’s reaction), esters, oxides of amines (Cope’s reaction) which produces alkene. It occurs intramolecularly through the formation of a transition state, when they are heated.
Polyhalogen compounds Dichloromethane (CH2Cl2) Colourless sweet smelling volatile liquid. It has low boiling point (313 k) and inflammable; used as a solvent in extraction in food and pharmaceutical industries. Vicinal dihalide When two halogen atoms are attached to adjacent carbon atoms, the compound is called vicinal dihalide. e.g., 1, 2-dichloroethane
Polyhalogen compounds Geminal dihalide When two halogen atoms are attached to the same carbon atom, the compound is called geminal dihalide e.g. H3C – CHCl2 1,1-dichloroethane
Polyhalogen compounds Chloroform (CHCl3) Methods of preparation (1) By chlorination of methane (2) By reduction of carbon tetra chloride
Polyhalogen compounds (3) From ethyl alcohol
Polyhalogen compounds (4) From acetone
Properties (1)Sweet smelling liquid, boiling point 61° C. (2) Oxidation • Stored in dark coloured bottled because on oxidation chloroform gives phosgene gas which is poisonous • 1% C2H5OH is added while storing chloroform
Properties (3) Reduction (4) Chlorination (5) Hydrolysis (6) Nitration
Properties (7) Reaction with acetone (8) Dehalogenation (9) Carbylamine reaction
Iodoform (CHI3) Preparation
properties • Yellow solid melting point 119° C. • Chemical properties of iodoform are same as that of chloroform. • Chlorine and bromine can replace iodine in iodoform reaction to give CHCl3 and CHBr3 respectively. The reaction is called haloform reaction.
Carbon tetrachloride Preparation Properties (1) Colourless liquid, boiling point 350 K.
Uses (1) Used as fire extinguisher. Trade name is pyrene. At 773 K it is hydrolysed by water vapours into phosgene gas. Therefore, the room should be well ventilated after using CCl4 as fire extinguisher. (2) Industrial solvent for oils, fats, resins etc.
