  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. Elimination reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elimination_reaction

    A secondary deuterium isotope effect of slightly larger than 1 (commonly 1 - 1.5) is observed. There is no antiperiplanar requirement. An example is the pyrolysis of a certain sulfonate ester of menthol: E1 elimination Nash 2008, antiperiplanar relationship in blue Only reaction product A results from antiperiplanar elimination.

  4. Functional group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Functional_group

    Haloalkanes are a class of molecule that is defined by a carbon–halogen bond. This bond can be relatively weak (in the case of an iodoalkane) or quite stable (as in the case of a fluoroalkane). In general, with the exception of fluorinated compounds, haloalkanes readily undergo nucleophilic substitution reactions or elimination reactions. The ...

  5. Neighbouring group participation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neighbouring_group...

    A classic example of NGP is the reaction of a sulfur or nitrogen mustard with a nucleophile, the rate of reaction is much higher for the sulfur mustard and a nucleophile than it would be for a primary or secondary alkyl chloride without a heteroatom. [5] Ph−S−CH 2 −CH 2 −Cl reacts with water 600 times faster than CH 3 −CH 2 −CH 2 ...

  6. Williamson ether synthesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Williamson_ether_synthesis

    The leaving site must be a primary carbon, because secondary and tertiary leaving sites generally prefer to proceed as an elimination reaction. Also, this reaction does not favor the formation of bulky ethers like di-tertbutyl ether, due to steric hindrance and predominant formation of alkenes instead.

  7. Halocarbon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halocarbon

    Examples of organohalogens-chlorides. Halocarbons are typically classified in the same ways as the similarly structured organic compounds that have hydrogen atoms occupying the molecular sites of the halogen atoms in halocarbons. Among the chemical families are: [2] haloalkanes—compounds with carbon atoms linked by single bonds

  8. Haloacetic acids - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haloacetic_acids

    In a monohaloacetic acid, a single halogen replaces a hydrogen atom: for example, in bromoacetic acid. Further substitution of hydrogen atoms with halogens can occur, as in dichloroacetic acid and trichloroacetic acid. Haloacetic acids are a common contaminant in treated drinking water, particularly water subjected to chlorination.

  9. Hydrohalogenation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrohalogenation

    A hydrohalogenation reaction is the electrophilic addition of hydrogen halides like hydrogen chloride or hydrogen bromide to alkenes to yield the corresponding haloalkanes. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] If the two carbon atoms at the double bond are linked to a different number of hydrogen atoms, the halogen is found preferentially at the carbon with fewer ...
