The halogen derivatives of aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons are called Haloalkanes and Haloarenes, respectively. Haloalkanes are commonly known as Alkyl halides and Haloarenes as Aryl Halides. There are two types of isomerism seen in halo compounds: chain isomerism and position isomerism. Alkanes react with halogens in the presence of light to give Haloalkanes. Addition of Halogen acids to alkenes also gives Haloalkanes. In case of unsymmetrical alkenes, Markovnikov's rule is applied. Haloalkanes can also be prepared from alcohols by reaction with halogen acids, phosphorous halides and thionyl chloride. Thionyl chloride method is the be

Previous article was based on simple organic conversion for increasing the number of Carbon atoms or same number of C-atoms.Now I am attaching few pages in which I will be concentrating around what we get from aldehydes and ketones and how we can get different products from aldehydes and ketones. I am also condensing few of Aromatic conversion steps. I will write tommorow few pages of general conversions through which you can do all conversions asked in Board exams. So depending upon the understanding of you of basic organic chemistry you can easily do organic conversions.Please keep one thing in mind dont cram any thing If You follow the steps suggested by me there

Dear Students Thank you very much for your great resonse and good comments I am geting. Today I am going to give you the tips for the conversions for aromatic compounds. These charts if you study and understand carefully I dont think any organic conversion will remain difficult for you. Just follow basics and you will be at ease. and belive me Organic Chemistry will never be so easy after this.Please go through it and try to solve conversions which are in your sample papers ( few examples I am also giving).Please comment and tell me your suggestions and any modification.

Here's an example explaining Wagner-Meerwein Rearrangements2,2-dimethyl-1-bromopropane  has very low SN2 reactivity , due to stearic hindrance. Under conditions that favor SN1 reactivity, such as solution in wet formic acid, neopentyl bromide reacts at roughly the same rate as ethyl bromide. Both of these compounds are 1º-alkyl halides, and for an SN1 reaction the rate determining step requires ionization to a 1º-carbocation. As noted in the carbocation stability order shown below, such carbocations are relatively unstable and are formed slowly.  Ca

The Aldol ReactionA useful carbon-carbon bond-forming reaction known as the Aldol Reaction or the Aldol Condensation is yet another example of electrophilic substitution at the alpha carbon in enols or enolate anions. Three examples of the base-catalyzed aldol reaction are shown in the following diagram, and equivalent acid-catalyzed reactions also occur. The fundamental transformation in this reaction is a dimerization of an aldehyde (or ketone) to a beta-hydroxy aldehyde (or ketone) by alpha C-H addition of one reactant molecule to the carbonyl group of a second reactant molecule.

  Summary of Factors Influencing Alkyl Halide Reactions The following table summarizes the expected outcome of alkyl halide reactions with nucleophiles. It is assumed that the alkyl halides have one or more beta-hydrogens, making elimination possible; and that low dielectric solvents (e.g. acetone, ethanol, tetrahydrofuran & ethyl acetate) are used. When a high dielectric solvent would significantly influence the reaction this is noted in red. Note that halogens bonded to sp2 or sp hybridized carbon atoms do not normally undergo substitution or elimination reactions with nucleophilic reagen

 There are two classifications of aromatic compounds.Nuclear Substituted CompoundsWhen the functional group or any substituent, in aromatic compounds is directly attached to the benzene ring, it is a called nuclear substituted compound. Such compounds are named as the derivatives of benzene under the IUPAC system. However, the common names of many such compounds are retained by IUPAC.Sidechain Substituted CompoundsAromatic compounds where the functional group is present in the sidechain of the ring are called sidechain substituted compounds. Sidechain substituted compounds are named as the phenyl derivatives of the corresponding aliphatic compounds.Naming Benze

 Pauli Exclusion PrincipleNo two electrons in an atom can have identical quantum numbers. This is an example of a general principle which applies not only to electrons but also to other particles of half-integer spin (fermions). It does not apply to particles of integer spin (bosons). The nature of the Pauli exclusion principle can be illustrated by supposing that electrons 1 and 2 are in states a and b respectively. The wavefunction for the two electron system would be but this wavefunction is unacceptable because the electrons are identical and indistinguishable. To account for this we must use a
