Homework Questions
Halogenoalkanes are fundamental organic compounds used widely in synthesis due to their versatile reactivity. Their structure, nomenclature, and physical properties directly influence their behavior in reactions, from forming Grignard and organolithium reagents to undergoing nucleophilic substitution and elimination. A thorough grasp of these concepts is essential for accurately predicting reaction outcomes and for effective application in industrial and laboratory settings.

CONCEPT
DEFINITION
Acyclic and cyclic alkanes
A discussion of both open?chain (acyclic) and ring (cyclic) saturated hydrocarbons, emphasizing their structural features, nomenclature, conformational behavior (including ring strain and conformation), and the processes used in their interconversion and synthesis.
In addition to the four isomers shown in Section $28.1,$ draw the structures of three more isomers of $\mathrm{C}_{6} \mathrm{H}_{13} \mathrm{Cl} .$ Name these isomers.
Indicate how $^{13}$ C NMR spectroscopy might help you to distinguish between the isomers of $\mathrm{C}_{6} \mathrm{H}_{13} \mathrm{Cl}$ you have described in your answer to problem 28.1
Draw the structures of the following compounds and classify them as primary, secondary or tertiary halogenoalkanes: (a) 1 -chloro-2-methylhexane; (b) 2 -iodobutane; (c) 2 -chloro- 2,3 dimethylpentane; (d) 1 -bromo- 3 methylbutane.
Using the following examples, distinguish between bond and molecular dipole moments: $(E)-1,2-$ dichloroethene; 1,1 -dichloroethane; $1,1,1-$ trichloroethane; tetrachloromethane.
