What Is an Organohalide?

An organic compound containing at least
one halogen attached to an sp3 hybridized
carbon

X (F, Cl, Br, I) replaces H
Can contain many C-X bonds

10.1 Naming Alkyl Halides
 Name
chain
is based on longest carbon
 (Contains
double or triple bond if
present)
 Number from end nearest any
substituent (alkyl or halogen)
 Halogens have same priority as alkyl
groups

7
Naming with Multiple Halides


If more than one of
the same kind of
halogen is present,
use prefix di, tri,
tetra
If there are several
different halogens,
number them and
list them in
alphabetical order
8
Naming if Two Halides or Alkyl Are Equally
Distant from Ends of Chain

Begin at the end nearer the substituent
whose name comes first in the alphabet
9
Many Alkyl Halides That Are Widely Used
Have Common Names
10
10.2 Structure of Alkyl Halides
 C-X
bond is longer as you go
down periodic table
 C-X bond is weaker as you go
down periodic table
 C-X bond is polarized with slight
positive on carbon and slight
negative on halogen

10.3: Radical Halogenation

Alkane + Cl2 or Br2, initiated by heat or
light; replaces C-H with C-X




Hard to control for monosubstitution
Reacts via a free radical mechanism
See mechanism in Figure 10-1
It is usually not a good idea to plan a
synthesis that uses this method

15
Multiple Substitution
16
Radical Halogenation of Alkanes
If there is more than one type of hydrogen
in an alkane, the reaction favors replacing
the hydrogen at the most highly
substituted carbons: 3o>2o>1o
 The number of available hydrogens is a
factor
 Methyl hydrogens, for example, often
outnumber 2o or 3o hydrogens.

Chlorination is unselective:

Relative Reactivity
Based
on quantitative
analysis of reaction products,
relative reactivity is
estimated
Order parallels stability of
radicals (See Figure 10-2)

Bromination is much more selective
than chlorination:

10.4 Preparing Alkyl Halides


Alkyl halide is formed by the addition of HCl, HBr,
HI to alkenes to give the Markovnikov product
(see Alkenes chapter)
Alkyl geminal dihalide from anti addition of
bromine or chlorine
23
10.5 Allylic Bromination of Alkenes


N-bromosuccinimide (NBS) selectively
brominates allylic positions
Requires light for activation: a source of
bromine atoms at very low concentrations

kJ/mol (9 kcal/mol
Allylic radical is more stable than tertiary alkyl
radical

Use of Allylic Bromination


Allylic bromination with NBS creates an allylic
bromide
Reaction of an allylic bromide with base produces
a conjugated diene, useful in synthesis of
complex molecules

10.6 Preparing Alkyl Halides from
Alcohols


Reaction of tertiary C-OH with HX is fast and effective
 Add HCl or HBr gas into ether solution of tertiary alcohol
Primary and secondary alcohols react very slowly and often
rearrange, so alternative methods are used

Reactivity of Alcohols with HX

Preparation of Alkyl Halides from Primary and
Secondary Alcohols
 Specific
reagents avoid acid and
rearrangements of carbon skeleton
 Thionyl chloride converts alcohols
into alkyl chlorides (SOCl2 : ROH
to RCl)
 Phosphorus tribromide converts
alcohols into alkyl bromides (PBr3:
ROH to RBr)

molecules proceeds through
trialkylcopper intermediate

10.9 Oxidation and Reduction in
Organic Chemistry

In organic chemistry, oxidation occurs when
a carbon or hydrogen that is connected to a
carbon atom in a structure is replaced by
oxygen, nitrogen, or halogen


Not easily recognizable as loss of electrons by
an atom as in inorganic chemistry
Oxidation is a reaction that results in loss of
electron density at carbon (as more
electronegative atoms replace hydrogen or
carbon)
Oxidation: loss of H, and/or gain of O, N, X
53
Reduction Reactions
 Organic
reduction is the opposite of
oxidation
 Results
in gain of electron density at
carbon
 (replacement of electronegative atoms
by hydrogen or carbon)
Reduction: gain of H and/or loss of O, N, X
