Structure of the chloromethyl group. In organic chemistry, the chloromethyl group is a functional group that has the chemical formula −CH 2 −Cl. The naming of this group is derived from the methyl group (which has the formula −CH 3), by replacing one hydrogen atom by a chlorine atom. Compounds with this group are a subclass of the ...
Fluorobenzenes are a group of aryl fluorides/halobenzenes consisting of one or more fluorine atoms as substituents on a benzene core. They have the formula C 6 H 6–n F n, where n = 1–6 is the number of fluorine atoms.
Benzyl chloride is prepared industrially by the gas-phase photochemical reaction of toluene with chlorine: [3]. C 6 H 5 CH 3 + Cl 2 → C 6 H 5 CH 2 Cl + HCl. In this way, approximately 100,000 tonnes are produced annually.
The half-life of this substance in terms of volatilization in the river, lagoon and lake is 2.1 h, 25 h and 18 days, respectively. [ 20 ] [ 21 ] The amount of methyl chloride in the stratosphere is estimated to be 2 × 10 6 tonnes per year, representing 20–25% of the total amount of chlorine that is emitted to the stratosphere annually.
This can also explain why phosphorus in phosphanes can't donate electron density to carbon through induction (i.e. +I effect) although it is less electronegative than carbon (2.19 vs 2.55, see electronegativity list) and why hydroiodic acid (pKa = -10) being much more acidic than hydrofluoric acid (pKa = 3).
[3] Bromobenzene is used to introduce a phenyl group into other compounds. One method involves its conversion to the Grignard reagent, phenylmagnesium bromide. This reagent can be used, e.g. in the reaction with carbon dioxide to prepare benzoic acid. [4] Other methods involve palladium-catalyzed coupling reactions, such as the Suzuki reaction.
Electrophilic fluorinating reagents could in principle operate by electron transfer pathways or an S N 2 attack at fluorine. This distinction has not been decided. [2] By using a charge-spin separated probe, [3] it was possible to show that the electrophilic fluorination of stilbenes with Selectfluor proceeds through an SET/fluorine atom transfer mechanism.
A derivative of trifluorotoluene, 3-aminobenzotrifluoride, is the precursor to the herbicide fluometuron. [3] It is synthesized via nitration followed by reduction to meta-H 2 NC 6 H 4 CF 3. This aniline is then converted to the urea. Flumetramide (6-[4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]morpholin-3-one), a skeletal muscle relaxant, is also prepared from ...
