Class 12 Chemistry Chapter 10 Haloalkanes & Haloarenes – Important Topics

Haloalkanes and Haloarenes are those hydrocarbons where one of the hydrogen-bonded to the central carbon atom is replaced by a halogen. Some examples of haloalkenes and haloarenes are chloramphenicol, chloroquine, Chlorofluorocarbon, etc.

Haloalkanes

  • Haloalkanes are made up of aliphatic alkanes.
  • The halogen atom is attached to the sp3 hybridized carbon atom of alkyl group.
  • Haloalkanes are saturated organic compounds and are odourless.
  • Haloalkanes precipitate in SN2 substitution reactions.
  • Example: CH3Cl (Methyl Chloride) and CH3CH2Br (Ethyl Bromide)

Haloarenes

  • Haloarenes consists of hydrocarbons with aromatic ring where one or more hydrogren is replaced by halogens.
  • The halogen atom is attached in the sp3 hybridized carbon atom of the alkyl group.
  • Haloarenes do not precipitate in SN2 substitution reactions.
  • Haloarenes have a sweet odour.
  • Example: Chlorobenzene, Bromobenzene.
