Halogen compounds containing oxygen

Of the halogen compounds containing oxygen, interest has been focussed on the photochemical decomposition of the halogenated ketones as a possible source of haloalkyl radicals. 

Acetone has an absorption band in the near ultraviolet with a maximum near A 2800 A, and the substitution of halogen atoms leads to a shift of the maximum to longer wavelengths with an increase in the extinction coefficient. For continuous photolysis the 3130 A emission line in the merciuy spectrum is most frequently used, and hexafluoroacetone has an absorption maximum near this wavelength . 

By analogy with acetone photolysis which produces mainly carbon monoxide and ethane, two types of primary process are likely for the photolysis of halogenated ketones 

To these must be added a third, involving possible rupture of a carbon-halogen bond

Fluorine is the most energetic oxidizing element and as such is of prime importance in advanced oxidizers. The fluorine-based oxidizers discussed here include elemental fluorine, compounds containing oxygen and fluorine, nitrogen-fluorine compounds, halogen fluorides, and noble gas fluorides. 

Returning to the statistics for dipole moment in Table 6.8, the group of 265 compounds containing oxygen (but no other heteroatom except halogen) shows the lowest correlations between the semiempirical methods and B3LYP (AMI R2 = 0.776, PM3 R2 = 0.701, PM5 R2 = 0.726) except for PM5 with a still slightly lower R2 value for the 42 compounds with phosphorus or sulfur atoms or both (0.716). Moreover, with both AMI and PM3 the 276 non-aromatic compounds yield lower correlation coefficients than the 331 aromatic compounds (AMI 0.763 vs. 0.859, PM3 0.731 vs. 0.801).

The element with the lower group number in the periodic table is the first word in the name the element with the higher group number is the second word. Exception When the compound contains oxygen and any of the halogens chlorine, bromine, and iodine, the halogen is named first.)... 

Within each section, rearrangements of hydrocarbons are treated before those of compounds containing oxygen, nitrogen, halogen, or sulfur. 

It will be noted that in the addition of the magnesium alkyl halide, the positive metallic atom remains in combination with the halogen atom and unites with the oxygen of the aldehyde, while the alkyl group joins itself to carbon. The way in which the union takes place should be noted, as the magnesium alkyl halides are much used in synthetic work, and in the formation of addition-products with compounds containing oxygen, the union takes place in a manner similar to that just explained. 

The two types of stabilization are not eguivalent the cation and the bromonium ion are different molecules with different shapes, while the two representations of the oxonium ion are just that—they aren t different molecules. This stabilization of an adjacent cationic centre by a heteroatom with at least one lone pair to form a three-membered ring intermediate is not restricted to bromine or the other halogens, but is also an important aspect of the chemistry of compounds containing oxygen, sulfur, or selenium, as you will see in Chapter 27. 

The name of the element farther to the left in the periodic table (closest to the metals) is usually written first. An exception occurs when the compound contains oxygen and chlorine, bromine, or iodine (any halogen except fluorine), in which case oxygen is written last. 

Other significant classes which are discussed in separate chapters are Chlorinated Aromatics, Fluorocarbons and Chloroaromatic Compounds containing oxygen. The production processes for all the products mentioned in this chapter are closely related, and often integrated on a common site but initially they will be considered as 3 arbitrarily chosen groups, namely Chloromethanes, Halogenated C2 compounds (ethanes and ethenes) and Vinylchloride/Vinyl-idenechloride.
