tetrahalogenalkane
Tetrahalogenalkanes are a class of organic compounds that contain four halogen atoms (fluorine, chlorine, bromine, or iodine) attached to a single carbon atom. These compounds are typically represented by the general formula CX4, where X represents a halogen atom. Due to the high electronegativity of the halogen atoms, tetrahalogenalkanes exhibit significant dipole moments, making them polar molecules.
The most well-known member of this class is carbon tetrachloride (CCl4), which was historically used as a
The synthesis of tetrahalogenalkanes typically involves the reaction of a carbon source with the appropriate halogen.
In summary, tetrahalogenalkanes are a class of organic compounds characterized by the presence of four halogen
