Bromochlorofluoroiodomethane

Bromochlorofluoroiodomethane is a hypothetical haloalkane with all four stable halogen substituents present in it. This compound can be seen as a methane molecule, whose four hydrogen atoms are each replaced with a different halogen atom. As the mirror images of this molecule are not superimposable, the molecule has two enantiomers. As one of the simplest such molecules, it is often cited as the prototypical chiral compound. However, since there is no synthetic route known to produce bromochlorofluoroiodomethane, the related simple chiral compound bromochlorofluoromethane is used instead when such a compound is required for research.

Synthesis of a Bromoalkane (n-Bromopropane)

In this video, I will be making n-bromopropane by brominating 1-propanol. The n-bromopropane can then be used in a Grignard reaction to make butyric acid (smell of vomit). Here is the video of me using it in a Grignard reaction: http://youtu.be/_wmx65zQk58 This process can be used as a

Alkene Halogenation & Halohydrin Synthesis (IOC 33)

In this episode, I discuss the halogenation of alkenes using reagents such as bromine, NBS, and DBH. I also discuss the use of haloniums in conjunction with other nucleophiles, forming difunctionalized products! The formation of halohydrins is the most well-established example of this. --

Making a Bromoalkane (1-bromopentane)

Today we are making a bromoalkane using the NaBr/H2SO4 method. In a previous video I did the PBr3 method, but this one is honestly a lot better (at least for 1-bromopentane). More detailed link (I covered it in my benzyl chloride video): https://youtu.be/lWFTYQ-x-SM?t=309 Nile talks abou
