Packet 8: Tossup 4

One of these compounds was reacted with amines to form amides in a two-phase system of water and an organic solvent by Schotten and Baumann. One of these compounds is dissolved in cyclohexane and reacts with hexa·methylene·diamine in the (-5[1])nylon rope trick. A palladium catalyst turns these compounds into aldehydes in the Rosenmund reduction. (-5[2])These (15[1])compounds (15[2])are converted into Weinreb (15[2])amides and treated with (-5[1])Gilman reagents to synthesize ketones. (-5[1])Adding (*) magnesium to these (-5[1])compounds (-5[1])in di·ethyl ether produces Grignard (10[1])reagents. (10[3]-5[1])The (-5[2])most reactive (10[1])carboxylic (10[1])acid derivatives (10[1])are a type (10[1])of these compounds, (-5[1])which react with a Lewis acid in the first step of (10[1])a Friedel-Crafts reaction. For 10 points, (-5[1])name these compounds that contain a C-X (10[1])bond (-5[1])and (10[1])are named for containing (10[1])a group 17 (10[3])element. (10[1])■END■ (10[17]0[4])

ANSWER: organic halides [or halocarbons; accept acyl halides or alkyl halides or acid halides; accept chlorides or bromides or iodides or fluorides; accept sebacoyl chloride]
