How do you make halides?

Answer 1

Nolan Allen

How do you make #"hydrocarbyl halides"#?

Through an alkane's radical halogenation...

#RCH_2R' + X_2stackrel(hnu)rarrRCHXR'+HX#

through the halogenation of an olefin by hydrohalogenation...

#RCH=CH_2+ HXrarrRCH(Br)-CH_3#

#RCH=CHR'+X_2rarrRCH(X)-CH(X)R'#

from acids or thionyl halides and alcohols.

#RCH_2OHstackrel(O=SX_2)rarrRCH_2X+SO_2+HX#

#RCH_2OHstackrel(HX)rarrRCH_2X+H_2O#

Halides are typically made by reacting the corresponding halogen gas (fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine) with the appropriate element or compound. For example, combining a metal with a halogen gas or reacting an organic compound with a halogen can produce halides.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
