Haloalkanes behave as the R + synthon, and readily react with nucleophiles. [citation needed] Hydrolysis, a reaction in which water breaks a bond, is a good example of the nucleophilic nature of haloalkanes. The polar bond attracts a hydroxide ion, OH − (NaOH (aq) being a common source of this ion).
A hydrohalogenation reaction is the electrophilic addition of hydrogen halides like hydrogen chloride or hydrogen bromide to alkenes to yield the corresponding haloalkanes. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] If the two carbon atoms at the double bond are linked to a different number of hydrogen atoms, the halogen is found preferentially at the carbon with fewer ...
As a primary haloalkane, it is prone to S N 2 type reactions. It is commonly used as an alkylating agent. When combined with magnesium metal in dry ether, it gives the corresponding Grignard reagent. Such reagents are used to attach butyl groups to various substrates. 1-Bromobutane is the precursor to n-butyllithium: [4]
An intramolecular S N 2 reaction by the anion forms the cyclic backbone of morphine. [14] Synthesis of morphine using lithium–halogen exchange. Lithium–halogen exchange is a crucial part of Parham cyclization. [15] In this reaction, an aryl halide (usually iodide or bromide) exchanges with organolithium to form a lithiated arene species.

Arrow pushing or electron pushing is a technique used to describe the progression of organic chemistry reaction mechanisms. [1] It was first developed by Sir Robert Robinson.In using arrow pushing, "curved arrows" or "curly arrows" are drawn on the structural formulae of reactants in a chemical equation to show the reaction mechanism.
Haloalkanes are diverse in their properties, making generalizations difficult. Few are acutely toxic, but many pose risks from prolonged exposure. Some problematic aspects include carcinogenicity and liver damage (e.g., carbon tetrachloride). Under certain combustion conditions, chloromethanes convert to phosgene, which is highly toxic.
