  2. Haloalkane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haloalkane

    In primary (1°) haloalkanes, the carbon that carries the halogen atom is only attached to one other alkyl group. An example is chloroethane (CH 3 CH 2 Cl). In secondary (2°) haloalkanes, the carbon that carries the halogen atom has two C–C bonds. In tertiary (3°) haloalkanes, the carbon that carries the halogen atom has three C–C bonds.

  3. SN1 reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SN1_reaction

    An example of a reaction taking place with an S N 1 reaction mechanism is the hydrolysis of tert-butyl bromide forming tert-butanol: This S N 1 reaction takes place in three steps: Formation of a tert-butyl carbocation by separation of a leaving group (a bromide anion) from the carbon atom: this step is slow. [5] Recombination of carbocation ...

  4. Williamson ether synthesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Williamson_ether_synthesis

    The alkoxide (or aryloxide) may be primary and secondary. Tertiary alkoxides tend to give elimination reaction because of steric hindrance. The alkylating agent, on the other hand is most preferably primary. Secondary alkylating agents also react, but tertiary ones are usually too prone to side reactions to be of practical use.

  5. Free-radical halogenation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free-radical_halogenation

    In organic chemistry, free-radical halogenation is a type of halogenation. This chemical reaction is typical of alkanes and alkyl -substituted aromatics under application of UV light . The reaction is used for the industrial synthesis of chloroform (CHCl 3 ), dichloromethane (CH 2 Cl 2 ), and hexachlorobutadiene .

  6. Secondary (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secondary_(chemistry)

    Secondary is a term used in organic chemistry to classify various types of compounds (e. g. alcohols, alkyl halides, amines) or reactive intermediates (e. g. alkyl radicals, carbocations). An atom is considered secondary if it has two 'R' Groups attached to it. [ 1 ]

  7. Carbanion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbanion

    Simple primary, secondary and tertiary sp 3 carbanions (e.g., ethanide CH 3 CH − 2, isopropanide (CH 3) 2 CH −, and t-butanide (CH 3) 3 C − were subsequently determined to be unbound species (the EAs of CH 3 CH 2 •, (CH 3) 2 CH•, (CH 3) 3 C• are −6, −7.4, −3.6 kcal/mol, respectively) indicating that α substitution is ...

  8. Primary (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primary_(chemistry)

    Primary is a term used in organic chemistry to classify various types of compounds (e.g. alcohols, alkyl halides, amines) or reactive intermediates (e.g. alkyl radicals, carbocations). Red highlighted central atoms in various groups of chemical compounds.
