Halogenoalkanes 1 Chemsheets Answers Exclusive - Reactions Of

Halogenoalkanes undergo nucleophilic substitution and elimination, driven by the polar C-X bond, with reactivity dictating a preference for cap S sub cap N 1 (tertiary) or cap S sub cap N 2

For primary halogenoalkanes, the mechanism generally follows these steps: The nucleophile ( ) attacks the Cδ+cap C raised to the delta plus power from the side opposite the halogen. A transition state forms where the bond is forming while the bond is breaking. The halide ion ( X−cap X raised to the negative power ) leaves (the "leaving group"). 5.

• Equation: CH₃CHClCH₂CH₃ + H₂O → CH₃CH(OH)CH₂CH₃ + HCl
• Rate order: Tertiary > Secondary > Primary (because SN1 favored).

) from a carbon atom adjacent to the C-X bond, causing the halide to leave and a double bond to form. 3. Trends in Reactivity (The "Why")

• Mechanism: A nucleophile attacks the electrophilic carbon from the back side while the leaving group departs simultaneously, via a single transition state.
• Stereochemistry: Inversion of configuration at the carbon center (Walden inversion).
• Kinetics: Rate = k[RX][Nu–] (second order).
• Favoured by: Primary and methyl haloalkanes (least steric hindrance), strong nucleophiles, polar aprotic solvents (e.g., acetone, DMSO, DMF), good leaving groups (I– > Br– > Cl– >> F–).
• Examples: CH3Br + OH– → CH3OH + Br–; CH3CH2Br + CN– → CH3CH2CN (nitrile formation).
