‘Alkyl Halide’ A Wonderful Organic Molecule
‘Alkyl Halide’ A Wonderful Organic Molecule You can synthesize most of the organic compounds by using alkyl halides as a starting material. This property of alkyl halides makes it wonderful. In laboratory if you have alkyl halides with you that means you have most of the organic compound with you. Given transformations will unfold the […]
Preparation reactions of Alkanes
Preparation Reactions of Alkanes Summary Chart for Alkane preparation reactions
Free radicals halogenation of alkane
Free Radicals Halogenation of Alkane Free radicals are highly reactive species with unpaired valance electron. Carbon free radicals are formed during halogenation of alkanes and orientation as well as reactivity depends on the type of free radical. It is known as free radical substitution reaction. Ease of formation of free radical: 3° > 2° > […]
Enantiomerism
Enantiomerism A tetrahedral carbon with four different substituents shows the enantiomerism with different three dimensional isomeric structures. The carbon bearing four different substituents is called as chiral or asymmetric carbon. A molecule with one asymmetric carbon shows two enantiomers which are mirror image of each other and non-superimposable. Enantiomers are optically active and they rotate […]
Conformations
Conformations A different arrangement of the atoms in the space by rotation about the carbon-carbon single bond is known as conformers and collectively called as conformational isomers. These are inter-convertible by rotation of single bond. The simplest molecules show conformation is ethane (CH3CH3). The conformer I is called as Staggered conformation and II is called […]
