Halogenation of
Alkanes
Halogenation Reaction
A halogenation reaction is a chemical
reaction between a substance and a halogen
in which one or more halogen atoms are
incorporated into molecules of the
substance.
Halogenation of Alkanes
Halogenation of an alkane produces a hydrocarbon
derivative in which one or more halogen atoms have
been substituted for hydrogen atoms.
Alkanes are notoriously unreactive compounds because
they are non-polar and lack functional groups at which
reactions can take place. Free radical halogenation
therefore provides a method by which alkanes can be
functionalized.
A severe limitation of radical halogenation however is the
number of similar C-H bonds that are present in all but the
simplest alkanes, so selective reactions are difficult to
achieve.
General Reaction of Alkanes
Alkane halogenation is an example of a substitution
reaction, a type of reaction that often occurs in organic
chemistry. A substitution reaction is a chemical reaction in
which part of a small reacting molecule replaces an atom
or a group of atoms on a hydrocarbon or hydrocarbon
derivative.
A general equation for the substitution of a single
halogen atom for one of the hydrogen atom of an alkane
is
Chlorination of Methane by Substitution
1. In halogenation of an alkane, the alkane is said to
undergo fluorination, chlorination, bromination or
iodination depending on the identity of the halogen
reactant.
2. Chlorination and bromination are the two widely
used alkane halogenation reactions.
3. Fluorination reactions generally proceed too quickly
to be useful and iodination reactions go too slowly.
4. Halogenations usually result in the formation of a
mixture of products rather than a single product.
5. More than one product results because more than one
hydrogen atom on an alkane can be replaced with
halogen atoms.
1. Initiation Step:
The Cl-Cl bond of elemental chlorine undergoes
hemolysis when irradiated with UV light, and this
process yields two chlorine atoms, also called
chlorine radicals.
2. Propagation Step:
A chlorine radical abstracts a hydrogen atom from
methane to produce the methyl radical. The methyl
radical in turn abstracts a chlorine atom from a chlorine
molecule and chloromethane is formed. The second
step of propagation also regenerates a chlorine atom.
These steps repeat many times until termination occurs.
The reaction does not stop at this step, however because
the chlorinated methane product can react with
additional chlorine to produce polychlorinated products.
By controlling the reaction conditions and the ratio of
chlorine to methane. It is possible to favour formation of
one or another of the possible chlorinated methane
products.
3. Termination Step:
Termination takes place when a chlorine atom reacts
with another chlorine atom to generate Cl2, or chlorine
atom can react with a methyl radical to form
chloromethane which constitutes a minor pathway by
which the product is made. Two methyl radicals can
also combine to produce ethane, a very minor by
product of this reaction.
