Preparing Alkyl Halides Recall: Alkyl halide is made from the addition of HCI,HBr,HI to alkenes to give the Markovnikov product Alkyl dihalide are obtained from anti addition of bromine or chlorine to alkene HX H CH3 CH3 H CHg X=Clor Br X=Cl,Br,or I Thomson-Brooks Cole

Reaction of Alkanes with Halogens Recall: Alkane Cl2 or Br2,heat or light replaces C-H with C- X but gives mixture of compounds Via free radical mechanism Hard to control CH4 Cl2 CH,C1+HCI Cla CH2Cl2 HCI L一CHCL3+HCI C→CCL4+HCI
