Topic 6.1

Classification, Nomenclature and the C-X Bond

Classify haloalkanes and haloarenes, name them, and reason from the nature of the carbon-halogen bond.

Topic 6.2

Preparation of Haloalkanes and Haloarenes

Select reagents and conditions for preparing haloalkanes and haloarenes without mixing up named reactions.
