CH 2 Cl-CH 2 Cl → CH 2 =CHCl + HCl. The resulting HCl can be reused in oxychlorination reaction. Thermally induced dehydrofluorinations are employed in the production of fluoroolefins and hydrofluoroolefins. One example is the preparation of 1,2,3,3,3-pentafluoropropene from 1,1,2,3,3,3-hexafluoropropane: CF 2 HCH(F)CF 3 → CHF=C(F)CF 3 + HF
Such reactions give alkenes in the case of vicinal alkyl dihalides: [2] R 2 C(X)C(X)R 2 + M → R 2 C=CR 2 + MX 2. Most desirable from the perspective of remediation are dehalogenations by hydrogenolysis, i.e. the replacement of a C−X bond by a C−H bond. Such reactions are amenable to catalysis: R−X + H 2 → R−H + HX
For example, when 2-iodobutane is treated with alcoholic potassium hydroxide (KOH), but-2-ene is the major product and but-1-ene is the minor product. [ 1 ] More generally, Zaytsev's rule predicts that in an elimination reaction the most substituted product will be the most stable, and therefore the most favored.
Halide-containing compounds are pervasive, making this type of transformation important, e.g. in the production of polymers, drugs. [1] This kind of conversion is in fact so common that a comprehensive overview is challenging. This article mainly deals with halogenation using elemental halogens (F 2, Cl 2, Br 2, I 2). Halides are also commonly ...
In chemistry, the haloform reaction (also referred to as the Lieben haloform reaction) is a chemical reaction in which a haloform (CHX 3, where X is a halogen) is produced by the exhaustive halogenation of an acetyl group (R−C(=O)CH 3, where R can be either a hydrogen atom, an alkyl or an aryl group), in the presence of a base.
The methyl chloride reaction (only S N 2 possible) on the other hand has a KIE of 0.85 consistent with a S N 2 reaction because in this reaction type the C-H bonds tighten in the transition state. The KIE's for the ethyl (0.99) and isopropyl (1.72) analogues suggest competition between the two reaction modes.
The 1,2- and 1,3- isomers have singlet ground states, whereas for 1,4-didehydrobenzene the gap is smaller. The interconversion of the 1,2-, 1,3- and 1,4-didehydrobenzenes has been studied. [ 34 ] [ 35 ] A 1,2- to 1,3-didehydrobenzene conversion has been postulated to occur in the pyrolysis (900 °C) of the phenyl substituted aryne precursors ...
The Béchamp reduction (or Béchamp process) is a chemical reaction that converts aromatic nitro compounds to their corresponding anilines using iron as the reductant: [1] 4 C 6 H 5 NO 2 + 9 Fe + 4 H 2 O → 4 C 6 H 5 NH 2 + 3 Fe 3 O 4. This reaction was once a major route to aniline, but catalytic hydrogenation is the preferred method. [2]
