Welcome class! Today we're discussing haloalkanes and haloarenes. Can anyone tell me how we classify these compounds?
Are they classified based on the number of halogen atoms?
Yes, excellent! We classify them as mono, di, or polyhalogen compounds depending on the number of halogen atoms present. For example, a compound with one halogen is a monohalogen.
What about alkyl and aryl halides?
Good question! Alkyl halides contain halogens bonded to sp3 hybridized carbon, while aryl halides have halogens bonded to sp2 hybridized carbons in aromatic rings.
Can you give us examples of both?
Sure! For example, bromoethane is an alkyl halide, while chlorobenzene is an aryl halide.
To remember, think of A for βAromaticβ halides and Al for βAlkylβ halides. Let's summarize: Haloalkanes can be classified based on types of carbon hybridization and number of halogens.

Now, letβs talk about the types of reactions haloalkanes and haloarenes can undergo. What reaction types can you think of?
I remember nucleophilic substitution and elimination reactions.
Exactly! Nucleophilic substitution (S1 and S2) and elimination reactions are vital for these compounds. The distinction lies in the mechanism and substrate.
Whatβs the difference between S1 and S2 mechanisms?
Good inquiry! The S2 mechanism involves a single step where nucleophile and substrate are involved in rate determining step, while S1 involves the formation of a carbocation intermediate.
How do these reactions affect the environment?
Excellent point! Some polyhalogen compounds are persistent in the environment and contribute to ecological challenges. Be sure to think critically about the implications!
In summary, remember the major reaction types for these compounds: nucleophilic substitution and elimination, with a unique mechanism for each.
Nomenclature and Environmental Effects

Now, let's focus on naming these compounds using IUPAC nomenclature. Can anyone explain how we name an alkyl halide?
We identify the alkyl group and add the halide name, right?
Exactly! For example, in 2-chlorobutane, '2' indicates the position of the chlorine on the second carbon. How do we name a compound like chlorobenzene?
Is it just chlorobenzene because itβs the only substituent?
Exactly! Itβs simpler for mono-substituted benzene derivatives. Moving on, what do you know about environmental implications of these halogenated compounds?
They can persist in the environment and possibly lead to pollution?
Well said! Compounds like DDT and chlorofluorocarbons, or Freons, have significant negative impacts on ecosystems. Understanding these effects is critical for responsible use of organic chemistry in industry.
So, to summarize today, we covered how to properly name haloalkanes and haloarenes and the potential environmental impact of polyhalogen compounds.

Name the following halides according to IUPAC system and classify them as alkyl, allyl, benzyl (primary, secondary, tertiary), vinyl or aryl halides:
(i) (CHβ)βC(Cl)CβHβ
(ii) CHβCH(CHβ)CH(CHβ)Cβ
HββCl
(iii) CHβCH(C(H)β)C(CHβ)I
(iv) (CHβ)βCClCHβ
(v) CHβCH(CHβ)CH(Br)CH
(vi) CHβC(Cβ
Hββ
)CHBr
(vii) CHβC(Cl)(Cβ
Hββ)CHβCH
(viii) CHβCH=C(Cl)CHCH(CHβ)
(ix) CHβCH=CHC(Br)(CHβ)
(x) p-ClCβHβCHβCH(CHβ)
(xi) m-ClCβHβCHβC(CHβ)CHβ
(xii) o-Br-CβHβCH(CHβ)CHβH.
Detailed Explanation
In this exercise, you are tasked with naming halides according to the IUPAC system and classifying them. Each halide name typically starts with identifying the longest carbon chain and its substituents. For classification, you would determine if the halide is attached to an alkyl (straight chain), allyl (attached next to a double bond), benzyl (attached to a benzene ring), vinyl (attached to a double bond), or aryl (directly attached to an aromatic ring) structure. Additionally, the class (primary, secondary, tertiary) depends on the degree of branching around the carbon to which the halogen is attached.
Examples & Analogies
Think of naming these halides like assigning nicknames. Just as you might call someone by their nickname based on their personality (like 'Sparky' for someone energetic), in chemistry, we 'name' molecules based on their structure and arrangement. Understanding their names can help us know more about their behaviors and where you might find them, just as certain friends do things that remind you of their nicknames.
Exercise 2: IUPAC Naming

Give the IUPAC names of the following compounds:
(i) CHβCH(Cl)CH(Br)CH
(ii) CHFβCBrClF
(iii) ClCH=C(CHβ)CHBr
(iv) (CClβ)βCCl
(v) CHβC(p-ClCβHβ)CH(Br)CH
(vi) (CHβ)βCCH=CClCβHβI-p.
Detailed Explanation
This exercise involves determining the IUPAC names based on the molecular structures provided. The IUPAC nomenclature system follows specific rules, such as identifying the longest chain of carbon atoms, the position of the halogen substituents, and ensuring that the most significant substituents are considered first when naming. Carefully analyzing the structure allows for accurate naming following systematic rules.
Examples & Analogies
Imagine you're putting together a puzzle. Each piece has a specific shape and can fit together in only one way to complete the picture. In the same way, each part of the chemical structure has a specific role in determining its name. Just as completing the puzzle brings everything into view, naming these compounds correctly allows scientists to understand what these compounds are and how they behave.

Write the structures of the following organic halogen compounds:
(i) 2-Chloro-3-methylpentane
(ii) p-Bromochlorobenzene
(iii) 1-Chloro-4-ethylcyclohexane
(iv) 2-(2-Chlorophenyl)-1-iodooctane
(v) 2-Bromobutane
(vi) 4-tert-Butyl-3-iodoheptane
(vii) 1-Bromo-4-sec-butyl-2-methylbenzene
(viii) 1,4-Dibromobut-2-ene.
Detailed Explanation
In this exercise, you will draw the structural formulas for each of the specified halogen compounds based on their names. Understanding the IUPAC names will help in constructing the structures. You need to pay attention to the position of halogen attachments and where other functional groups or carbon chains are located.
Examples & Analogies
Think of this exercise like following a recipe to bake a cake. Each ingredient (or part of the molecule) needs to be added in a specific way to create the desired outcome (the finished product). Just as the cake wonβt turn out right if you mix the ingredients incorrectly, the structure will not accurately reflect the compound if you donβt follow the naming.
Exercise 4: Dipole Moment Comparison

Which one of the following has the highest dipole moment?
(i) CHβClβ (ii) CHClβ (iii) CClβ
Detailed Explanation
In this exercise, you assess which of the given haloalkanes has the highest dipole moment. The dipole moment is related to the electronegativity difference between the carbon and halogen atoms and the molecular geometry. The more polar a bond, the higher the dipole moment. Therefore, you should consider the spatial arrangement of the halogen atoms as this affects the dipole moment as well.
Examples & Analogies
It's like evaluating a football team's strength based on their star players. The player farthest from the goal takes a weaker shot than the one closest. In chemistry, the closer a more electronegative atom is to the central atom (in terms of spatial arrangement), the stronger the bond (or the 'shot') that affects the overall polarity of the molecule.
Exercise 5: Reaction Predictions and Conversions

The treatment of alkyl chlorides with aqueous KOH leads to the formation of alcohols but in the presence of alcoholic KOH, alkenes are major products. Explain.
Detailed Explanation
When alkyl chlorides react with aqueous KOH, the hydroxide favors a substitution reaction leading to alcohol formation. However, in alcoholic KOH, the base acts more strongly to extract a hydrogen atom from the adjacent carbon (Ξ²-hydrogen), causing dehydrohalogenation and consequently forming alkenes. This shift from nucleophilic substitution to elimination is dependent on the medium used in the reaction.
Examples & Analogies
Imagine two cooking methods: boiling and frying. If you boil vegetables, they soften and become a side dish. But if you fry them in oil, they can become crispy, and create a whole different dish. Similarly, the medium in which a chemical reaction occurs can lead to entirely different outcomes, shaping the product's final form.
