- halogenoalkanes
- nucleophilic substitution
- carbon-halogen bond is polar
- halogens more electronegative
- the positive dipole on the C makes it prone to attack from nucleophiles
- nucleophile is an e- pair donor
- can react with a polar molecule by evicting the functional group and taking it's place
- alcohol formation
- hydroxide ion
- dissolve haloalkane in ethanol
- warm aqueous sodium hydroxide
- nitrile production
- cyanide ion
- ethanolic potassium cyanide
- amine production
- ammonia molecule
- excess ammonia, sealed tube and under pressure
- the amine group has a lone pair of e-
- can act as a nucleophile
- substitution more likely for primary haloalkanes
- carbon-halogen bond is polar
- elimination reactions
- forms alkene from halogenoalkane
- reflux
- hydroxide ion dissolved in ethanol
- Untitled
- nucleophilic substitution
