The given compound [figure] is an example of .
- aryl halide
- allylic halide
- vinylic halide
- benzylic halide
Answer
(2) allylic halide
Solution
In C6H5-CH=CH-CHX-CH2CH3, the halogen is bonded to an sp3 carbon that is directly attached to the C=C double bond (the allylic carbon).
It is not on the ring (aryl), not on a doubly bonded carbon (vinylic) and not on a carbon attached to the ring (benzylic).
The compound is an allylic halide.
