ARYL HALIDES (HALOGENOARENES) MENU
Aryl halides are compounds like chlorobenzene - in which a halogen atom is attached directly to a benzene ring. This covers the limited amount of aryl halide chemistry required by UK A level syllabuses.
Background . . .
An introduction to the aryl halides and their physical properties.
The preparation of aryl halides . . .
Making chlorobenzene and bromobenzene by reacting chlorine or bromine with benzene, and making iodobenzene from benzenediazonium chloride.
The reactions of aryl halides . . .
. . . or more particularly the reasons for their lack of reaction relative to halogenoalkanes (haloalkanes or alkyl halides).
