Document Summary

Iupac names for haloalkanes derived by naming parent alkane. Locate/number parent chain in direction that gives first substituent lower number. Show halogen substituents by prefixes (fluoro-, chloro-, bromo- and iodo-), list in alphabetical order along with other substituents. Use number preceding name of halogen to locate each halogen on parent chain. In haloalkenes, location of double bond determines numbering of parent hydrocarbon. In functional groups designated by suffix (-oh, -al, one, etc. ) location of functional group determines numbering. Common name of alkyl group, followed by halide as a separate word. Alkyl halide is a common name for the class of compounds. Nucleophile: an atom or group of atoms that donates a pair of electrons to another atom or group of atoms to form a new covalent bond. Nucleophilic substitution: a reaction in which one nucleophile is substituted for. Nucleophilic substitution: a reaction in which one nucleophile is substituted for another. Halide ions are best and most important leaving groups.
