Abstract:
Hydrated kaolinite phenylphosphonate (KPP-hyd) was reacted with hexylamine under ambient conditions. The reaction produced a stable light-yellow compound (KPP-hex) that was isolated and characterized by X-ray diffraction, thermal methods (simultaneous thermogravimetric and differential scanning calorimetric analysis), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and elemental CHN analysis. The increase in the interlayer distance from 15.02 to 16.36 Å on going from KPP-hyd to KPP-hex was attributed to the replacement of water molecules with the longer hexylamine molecules in the phenylphosphonate P-O-H binding sites of the grafted KPP host. Upon heating, the phase KPP-hex release the hexylamine molecules that burn. The resulting KPP-dry is stable up to 498 degrees C, at which temperature the grafted phenylphosphonate begins to burn and the dehydroxilation of kaolinite takes place. Copyright 1999 Academic Press.

Alkyl Halides
Alkyl halides are halogen-substituted alkanes wherein one or more hydrogen atoms of an alkane is replaced by a halogen atom such as fluorine, chlorine, bromine, or iodine. The carbon atom in an alkyl halide is bonded to the halogen atom, which is sp3-hybridized and exhibits a tetrahedral shape.
Unlike alkyl halides, compounds in which a halogen atom is bonded to an sp2 -hybridized carbon atom of a carbon-carbon double bond (C=C) are called vinyl halides. Whereas aryl...
Electrophilic Addition to Alkynes: Halogenation
Halogenation is another class of electrophilic addition reactions where a halogen molecule gets added across a π bond. In alkynes, the presence of two π bonds allows for the addition of two equivalents of halogens (bromine or chlorine). The addition of the first halogen molecule forms a trans-dihaloalkene as the major product and the cis isomer as the minor product. Subsequent addition of the second equivalent yields the tetrahalide.
