Question

What is the difference between alpha halogenation and alpha halogen substitution?​

Answer 1

HELLO THERE!

Pretty simple, here's your answer.

First of all, here's what is alpha carbon. The carbon next to the carbon containing a functional group is an alpha carbon with respect to that functional group.

Now, coming to your question:

Alpha halogenation: Alpha halogenation is the substitution or addition of a halogen atom (Cl, Br, I) to the alpha carbon of an organic compound. The HVZ reaction (Hell Volhard Zelsinky reaction) is an example of alpha halogenation, where you react a carboxylic acid with bromine in presence of PBr₃, and alpha-bromo carboxylic acid is formed.

Alpha halogen substitution: This is just the contrary to the previous. Here, the halogen atom in the alpha carbon is substituted by another atom (whereas in the previous case, halogen substituted another atom).

Hope it is clear.

Good luck.

Thanks!
