poly halogen compounds.
PRESENTED BY: FREYA CARDOZO 3
5. Haloalkanes or alkyl halides
halogen atom is bonded to sp3 hybridized carbon which is a part of saturated carbon skeleton.
Alkyl halides may be primary, secondary or tertiary depending on the substitution state of the
carbon to which halogen is attached
PRESENTED BY: FREYA CARDOZO 5
7. Allylic halides
In allylic halides, halogen
atom is bonded to a sp3
hybridized carbon
atom next to a carbon-carbon double bond
PRESENTED BY: FREYA CARDOZO 7
8. Benzylic halides
In benzylic halides halogen atom is bonded to a sp3 hybridized carbon atom which is further
bonded to an
aromatic ring.

9. Vinylic halides
In vinylic halides halogen
atom is bonded to a sp2 hybridized carbon atom of aliphatic chain.
Vinylic halide is a haloalkene.

10. Haloalkynes
When a halogen atom is
bonded to a sp hybridized carbon atom it is
a haloalkyne.

40. Bond strength
Carbon atom that carries halogen develops a partial positive charge while the halogen carries a
partial negative charge. Thus carbon-halogen bond in alkyl halide is a polar covalent bond.
Therefore alkyl halides are moderately polar compounds
Size of the halogen atom increases from fluorine to iodine. Hence the C-X bond length increases.
The C-X bond strength decreases with an increase in size of halogen.
This is because as the size of p-orbital of halogen increases the p-orbital becomes more
diffusedand the extent of overlap with orbital of carbon decreases
PRESENTED BY: FREYA CARDOZO 40
42. Boiling point
Boiling points of alkyl halides are considerably higher than those of corresponding alkanes due
to higher polarity and higher molecular mass
1. For alkyl halides with same R group the B.P depends upon the size of halogen atom.More
larger the atom more is B.P . Because Vander waals forces increase
Thus boiling point of alkyl halide decreases in the order RI > RBr > RCl > RF
PRESENTED BY: FREYA CARDOZO 42
43. 2. With same X atom and different R group...
Longer R group chain or more number of carbon atoms
More is the Vander waal forces
Higher B.p
PRESENTED BY: FREYA CARDOZO 43
44. 3. For isomeric alkanes i.e R group with same number of carbon atoms
More the branching
Lesser the surface area
Lesser Vander waal forces
Thus lesser B.P
PRESENTED BY: FREYA CARDOZO 44
45. Question
Arrange the following
compounds in order of increasing boiling
points : bromoform, chloromethane,
dibromomethane, bromomethane.
PRESENTED BY: FREYA CARDOZO 45
46. Solubility
Though alkyl halides
are moderately polar, they are insoluble in
water. It is due to inability of alkyl halides to
form hydrogen bonds with water. Attraction
between alkyl halide molecules is stronger
than attraction between alkyl halide and
water. Alkyl halides are soluble in non-polar
organic solvents.
Aryl halides are also insoluble in water
but soluble in organic solvents.

61. Carbon atom in a molecule which carries four different groups/atoms is called chiral carbon
atom.
Thus, the C-2 in 2-chlorobutane is a chiral carbon. Chiral atom in a molecule is marked with
asterisk (*).
PRESENTED BY: FREYA CARDOZO 61
64. Optical isomers and optical activity
The stereoisomerism in which the isomers have different spatial arrangements of groups/atoms
around a chiral atom is called optical isomerism.
The optical isomers differ from each other in terms of a measurable property called optical
activity
PRESENTED BY: FREYA CARDOZO 64
65. Plane polarized light
light having oscillations only in one plane perpendicular to direction of propagation of light is
known as plane polarized light.
PRESENTED BY: FREYA CARDOZO 65
67. Definitions
property of a substance by which it rotates plane of polarization of incident plane polarized light is
known as optical activity.
The compounds which rotate the plane of plane polarized light are called optically active compounds
and those which do not rotate it are optically inactive compounds.
Optical activity of a substance is expressed numerically in terms of optical rotation. The angle
through which a substance rotates the plane of plane polarized light on passing through it is called
optical rotation.
In accordance with the direction of optical rotation an optically active substance is either
dextrorotatory or laevorotatory.
A compound which rotates the plane of plane polarized light towards right is called dextrorotatoryand
designated by symbol d- or by (+)sign.
A compound which rotates plane of Plane polarized light towards left is called laevorotatory and
designated by symbol l-or by (-) sign.
PRESENTED BY: FREYA CARDOZO 67
68. Enantiomers
The optical isomers which are non-superimposable mirror image of each other are called
enantiomers or enantiomorphs or optical antipodes.
Enantiomers have equal and opposite optical rotation. Thus, enantiomers are a kind of optical
isomers.
Enantiomers have identical physical properties (Such as melting point, boiling points, densities,
refractive index) except the sign of optical rotation.
The magnitude of their optical rotation is equal but the sign of optical rotation is opposite.
They have identical chemical properties except towards optically active reagent.
PRESENTED BY: FREYA CARDOZO 68
70. Racemic mixture
An equimolar mixture of enantiomers (dextrorotatory and laevorotatory) is called racemic
modification or racemic mixture.
A racemic modification is optically inactive because optical rotation due to molecules of one
enatiomer is cancelled by equal and opposite optical rotation due to molecules of the other
enantiomer.
A racemic modification is designated as (dl) or by (±) sign.

76. Factors influencing SN1 and SN2
mechanism
Nature of substrate
Nucleophilicity of reagent
solvent polarity
PRESENTED BY: FREYA CARDOZO 76
77. Nature of substrate
1° alkyl halide – SN2 reaction
3° alkyl halide – SN1 reaction
T.S in SN2 is pentacoordinate carbon which is crowded this not favoured by 3°
Steric hinderance doesn’t allow 3° to proceed by this mechanism
For SN1 it proceeds with formation of carbocation which is stabilized by hyperconjugation and +I
inductive effect of alkyl group
Thus favours 3° R-X
PRESENTED BY: FREYA CARDOZO 77
78. Nucleophilicity of reagent
Nucleophilicity is similiar to concept of Lewis base
Lewis base- donates an electron pair
easier the nucleophile donating the electron pair better Nucleophilic reagent
In SN2 reaction rate depends on nucleophile thus stronger nucleophile will be needed for such
reaction
Poor nucleophile undergo SN1 beacuse rate is independent of nucleophile
PRESENTED BY: FREYA CARDOZO 78
79. Solvent polarity
SN1 reactions proceed rapidly in protic and polar solvents
SN1mechanism proceeds via formation of carbocation intermediate.
A good ionizing solvent, polar solvent, stabilizes the ions by solvation.
Cations are poorly solvated but anions solvation is of key importance
Anions are solvated by hydrogen bonding solvents, that is, protic solvents
PRESENTED BY: FREYA CARDOZO 79
80. aprotic solvents or solvents of low polarity will favour SN2 mechanism.
Polar protic solvents usually decrease the rate of SN2 reaction.
In the rate determining step of SN2 mechanism substrate as well as nucleophile is involved.
A polar solvent stabilizes nucleophile (one of the reactant) by solvation. Thus solvent deactivates
the nucleophile by stabilizing it.

95. How to break C-X bond

PRESENTED BY: FREYA CARDOZO 95
98. GR. Therefore Cl is o-/p- directing but
ring deactivating group.
PRESENTED BY: FREYA CARDOZO 98
99. GR.
Aryl halides undergo electrophilic substitution reaction slowly as compared to benzene.
In resonance structures of chlorobenzene elelctron density is relatively more at ortho and para
position.
Therefore incoming electrophilic group is more likely to attack at these positions. But due to
steric hinderance at ortho position, para product usually predominates.
In haloarenes, halogen atom has strong electron withdrawing inductive effect (-I).
This deactivates the ring and electrophilic substitution reaction occurs slowly.
