Following are two methods commonly used to prepare alkyl halides. Hydrogen halide addition to an alkene Halogen halides add across carbon-ca...

In a Grignard reaction, an alkyl halide reacts with magnesium metal in an anhydrous ether solvent to create an organometallic reagent.  The ...

Elimination reactions can also occur when a carbon halogen bond does not completely ionize, but merely becomes polarized. As with the E1 rea...

As noted earlier, the halogen-carbon bond in an alkyl halide is polarized due to the electronegativity difference between the atoms. This po...

During an elimination reaction, a bond forms by the removal of two atoms or groups from the original molecule. In most instances, the bond t...
