"Halogenation Explained: From Theory to Real-World Applications"
International Chemistry Scientist Awards
Halogenation is a chemical reaction that involves the introduction of one or more halogen atoms (fluorine, chlorine, bromine, or iodine) into a compound. This reaction plays a crucial role in organic and inorganic chemistry, often serving as a key step in the synthesis of various pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and industrial chemicals. Depending on the type of halogen and the substrate involved, halogenation can proceed via different mechanisms, such as free radical substitution, electrophilic addition, or nucleophilic substitution. For instance, the chlorination of alkanes under UV light follows a free radical mechanism, while the bromination of alkenes involves an electrophilic addition process. The versatility of halogenation reactions makes them indispensable in functionalizing organic molecules and modifying chemical properties for specific applications.
