Classification of organic halogen compounds

Classification of organic halogen compounds

Organic Halogen Compounds

1) Based on number of Halogens

2) Based on the Hybridisation of Carbon attached with halogen,

1) Based on number of Halogens

a) Mono Halo compounds (C₂H₅ Br - Bromo ethane

b) Poly Halo compounds CCl₃–CH₂ - CH₃ Trichloro propane.

2) Based on the Hybridisation of Carbon attached with halogen,

a) Compounds containing C_sp³ – X bond

Alkyl halides (or) Haloalkanes CH₃ I lodomethane

Allylic halides CH₂ = CH – CH₂ – Cl – Allyl chloride

Benzylic halides C₆H₅CH₂ Br Benzyl bromide

Alicyclic halides Br Bromo cyclobutane

b) Compounds containing C_sp² – X bond

Vinylic Halides CH₂ = CHI Vinyl Iodide

Aryl halides (or Halo arenes) C₆H₅ Cl Chlorobenzene
