Discover LudwigThe phrase "alkyl halide" is correct and usable in written English.
It is typically used in the context of organic chemistry to refer to a class of compounds derived from alkanes in which one or more hydrogen atoms have been replaced by halogen atoms.
Example: "In the laboratory, we synthesized an alkyl halide to study its reactivity with nucleophiles."
Alternatives: "haloalkane" or "alkyl halogen compound".
Exact(59)
The reactivity of these nucleophilic glycine equivalents have been compared to previously described examples with the application of various transformations such as alkyl halide alkylations, Michael additions, and aldol condensations.
The solvent extracted CP-MS41 was activated by the consecutive immobilization of imidazole followed by alkylation with an alkyl halide resulting in the immobilized imidazole substituent CP-MS 41 (RIm+X−-MS41) or immobilized ionic liquid (IIL).
With a couple exceptions, the first synthetic cannabinoids to enter widespread use were called naphthoylindoles, and they are synthesized in a two step reaction where 1-napthoyl chloride, or a substituted derivative, acylates an indole and then the indole nitrogen is deprotonated with a strong base like sodium hydride and alkylated with an alkyl halide like bromopentane.
The product is then easily alkylated with an alkyl halide IV at position N-3, yielding the final NHC precursor.
The obtained compounds were alkylated at the N3 position using the corresponding alkyl halide in K2CO3/N,N-dimethylformamide to obtain compounds 1-7 and 11-25 (Figure 2b) [2b].
In the general Friedel Crafts reaction, an acyl chloride or alkyl halide reacts with an aromatic system as shown: : The alkylation reaction is more widely used than the acylation reaction, although its practice is more technically demanding because the reaction is more sluggish.
The alkyl halide must be unhindered (usually primary), or elimination will compete with the desired substitution.
It uses an alkoxide ion to attack an alkyl halide, substituting the alkoxy (―O―R) group for the halide.
For example, the most common synthesis of ethers involves the attack of an alkoxide ion on an alkyl halide.
It uses an alkoxide ion to attack an alkyl halide, substituting the alkoxy (−O−R) group for the halide.
