1. Halohydrin

   In organic chemistry a halohydrin (also a haloalcohol or β-halo alcohol) is a functional group in which a halogen and a hydroxyl are bonded to adjacent carbon atoms, which otherwise bear only hydrogen or hydrocarbyl groups (e.g. 2-chloroethanol, 3-chloropropane-1,2-diol). The term only applies to saturated motifs, as such compounds like 2-chlorophenol would not normally be considered halohydrins. Megatons of some chlorohydrins, e.g. propylene chlorohydrin, are produced annually as precursors to polymers. Halohydrins may be categorized as chlorohydrins, bromohydrins, fluorohydrins or iodohydrins depending on the halogen present.

1. Halohydrin

   A halohydrin or a haloalcohol is a type of organic compound or functional group in which one carbon atom has a halogen substituent, and an adjacent carbon atom has a hydroxyl substituent. They are derived from alcohols are therefore characterized by the presence of both the hydroxyl functional group and a halogen functional group. Haloalcohols, especially chloroalcohols and bromoalcohols are typically synthesized by halogenation of alkenes in the presence of water or an alcohol. As intramolecular ring closure between the carbons bearing the two functional groups can be induced readily by reaction with a base to give an epoxide, haloalcohols are useful as intermediates in chemical synthesis. Halohydrin are formed from an alkene in a halohydrin formation reaction or from an epoxide by a hydrohalic acid. In presence of a base, such as potassium hydroxide, a halohydrin may undergo internal SN2 reaction to form an epoxide. This is the reverse of the formation reaction from an epoxide. Epoxidation in biological systems can be catalyzed by halohydrin dehalogenase. They are used mostly found for Addition reactions,while being Anti and Markovnikov.
