Abstract:
In the title compound, C20H14BrClO3, the dihedral angles between the aromatic ring of the 4-bromo-2-chloro-phenyl and the immediate neighbour and second aromatic ring of the biphenyl moiety are 80.59 (2) and 75.42 (2)°, respectively. The dihedral angle between the rings within the biphenyl moiety is 24.57 (4)°. The torsion angle associated with the ester group linking the biphenyl ring and the 4-bromo-2-chloro-phenyl group is -166.6 (2)°. The extended structure features short halogen⋯oxygen contacts [Cl⋯O = 2.991 (3), Br⋯O = 3.139 (2) Å], forming mol-ecular sheets lying parallel to (101). The Hirshfeld surface analysis reveals that the major contributions to the inter-molecular inter-actions are from C⋯H/H⋯C (32.2%), H⋯H/H⋯H (26.3%), Br⋯H/H⋯Br (10.7%), O⋯H/H⋯O (10.4%) and Cl⋯H/H⋯Cl (7.5%) contacts.

Halogenation of Alkenes
Consider the bromination of cyclopentene. Molecular bromine is polarized in the proximity of the π electrons of cyclopentene. An electrophilic bromine atom adds across the double bond, forming a cyclic bromonium ion intermediate.
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...
