• Aryl halides are extremely less reactive towards nucleophilic substitution reactions due to the following reasons: • (i) Resonance effect : In haloarenes, the electron pairs on halogen atom are in conjugation with p-electrons of the ring and the following resonating structures are possible. • C—Cl bond acquires a partial double bond character due to resonance. • As a result, the bond cleavage in haloarene is difficult than haloalkane and therefore, they are less reactive towards nucleophilic substitution reaction. • Difference in hybridisation of carbon atom in C—X bond: • In haloalkane, the carbon atom attached to halogen is sp3 hybridised while in case of haloarene, carbon atom is sp2-hybridised. • Chlorobenzene can be converted into phenol by heating in aqueous sodium hydroxide solution at a temperature of 623K and a pressure of 300 atmospheres. • The presence of an electron withdrawing group (-NO2) at ortho- and para-positions increases the reactivity of haloarenes. • The effect is pronounced when (-NO2) group is introduced at ortho and para- positions. However, no effect on reactivity of haloarenes is observed by the presence of electron withdrawing group at meta-position.
Elements, bond, halides
• Synthetic halogen compounds, viz. • chloroquine is used for the treatment of malaria; • Halothane is used as an anaesthetic during surgery.
What are haloarenes and haloalkanes?
Key Words | Definitions (pref. in our own words) |
---|---|
- Haloalkanes - Haloarenes | • Haloalkanes contain halogen atom(s) attached to the sp3 hybridised carbon atom of an alkyl group. • Haloarenes contain halogen atom(s) attached to sp2 hybridised carbon atom(s) of an aryl group. |

• Haloalkanes and Haloarenes are classified based on the number of halogen compounds contained in them.
