Spaced Revision

Come back to Compounds of Carbon Containing Halogens (Haloalkanes and Haloarenes) after a week. Use flashcards for quick recall and try past exam questions on this chapter.

What to Focus On

  • Select the longest carbon chain containing the halogen.
  • Number the chain to give the halogen the lowest number.
  • Use prefixes like chloro-, bromo- with parent hydrocarbon name.
  • Direct halogenation of alkanes gives haloalkanes (free radical mechanism).
  • Alcohols react with HX (X = Cl, Br) to form haloalkanes.
  • ZnCl₂ is used as a catalyst for chlorination of alcohols.
  • Direct halogenation of benzene requires FeX₃ catalyst.
  • Iodination needs oxidizing agents to prevent reversal.
  • Fluorination is too violent for direct use.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Haloarenes undergo nucleophilic substitution easily like haloalkanes.

All alkyl halides react at the same rate in nucleophilic substitution reactions.

Fluorine being most electronegative makes fluoroalkanes most reactive.
