IUPAC Nomenclature R-X Haloalkane
To give IUPAC Name You ask yourself ! What is word root? What is primary suffix? What is secondary suffix? What are prefixes? What are their positions?
Formula IUPAC Name 1. Chloromethane 2. Chloroethane 3. Bromoethane 4. Iodoethane 5. Chloropropane 6. 2-chloropropane Formula IUPAC Name Chloromethane Chloroethane Bromoethane Iodoethane Chloropropane 2-chloropropane
Write the isomers of with their Common name and IUPAC names.

Physical properties State: Except chloromethane (B.P. -24 ), haloalkanes are sweet-smelling liquids. Solubility: Boiling point: Hydrogen bonding: Hydrogen should be attached to NOF Near to that hydrogen there should be NOF in the same or different molecule.
Physical properties State: Except chloromethane (B.P. -24 ), haloalkanes are sweet-smelling liquids. Solubility: They are insoluble in water because they could not make hydrogen bond with water, but they are soluble in non-polar solvents. Boiling point: RI > RBr > RCl
Increase in molecular mass increase the boiling point. Boiling point of covalent molecule depends upon van der Waals force of attraction (which in turn depends upon molecular size). Increase in van der Waals force of attraction increase the boiling point. For isomers boiling point decrease on branching.

Reaction of alkyl cyanide Complete hydrolysis Partial Hydrolysis Reduction
Convert Methane into ethanoic acid Methane into ethanamide Methane into ethanamine Ethane into propanamide
A is chloromethane because methane on chlorination produce chloromethane A (chloromethane) react with alcoholic KCN to produce ethanenitrile (B) Ethanenitrile (B) on complete hydrolysis produce ethanoic acid .
An organic compound A react with chlorine in presence of sunlight to produce B. B react with KCN to produce C which on complete hydrolysis produce propanamine . What is A?
Dehydrohalogenation/Elimination What is the product in the following reaction? A B
Both the products will be formed but the major product is according to Saytzeef rule. It states that, “ If more than one elimination product is possible, the most substituted alkene is the most stable product (major product ).”
Wurtz reaction
Convert Methane into ethane Methane into ethene 1-bromopropane into 2-bromopropane and vice versa
Convert methane into ethene Convert 1-bromopropane into 2-bromopropane and vice versa
If A and C are isomers identify A, B, and C with suitable chemical reactions.
Convert ethane into but-2-ene.
