How are haloalkanes prepared in Class 12 Chemistry?
Answer (1)
Haloalkanes can be prepared using various methods, primarily involving substitution or addition reactions.
- From Alcohols: Haloalkanes are obtained by reacting alcohols with halogen acids (HX), phosphorus halides, or thionyl chloride
- From Alkanes: Free radical halogenation of alkanes with Cl₂ or Br₂ in the presence of UV light produces haloalkanes, though it gives a mixture of products.
