Advices For Studying Organic Chemistry

CCl 3 –CH 3 CF 3 –CHClBr
1,1,1-trichloroethane 2-bromo-2-chloro-1,1,1-trifluoroethane (Halothane)

2) Vinyl halides: a halogen atom is bonded to an sp^2 -hybridized carbon.

3) Aryl halides: a halogen atom is bonded to an sp^2 -hybridized aromatic carbon.

2. Importantance of Organohalogen Compounds:
   
   
   1. Solvents:
      i) Alkyl halides are used as solvents for relatively non-polar compounds.
      ii) CCl 4 , CHCl 3 , CCl 3 CH 3 , CH 2 Cl 2 , ClCH 2 CH 2 Cl, and etc.
   
   
   
   

2) Reagents:

i) Alkyl halides are used as the starting materials for the synthesis of many

compounds.

ii) Alkyl halides are used in nucleophilic reactions, elimination reactions,

formation of organometallics,.and etc.

3) Refrigerants: Freons (ChloroFluoroCarbon)

4) Pesticides: DDT, Aldrin, Chlordan
