Which of the following is a vinylic halide?(a) CH2=CHCHCl2(b) CH3CHClCH3(c) (CH3)2C=CHCH2Cl(d) CH3CH=CClCH2CH3I had been asked this question during an internship interview.My doubt stems from Haloalkanes Classification topic in division Haloalkanes and Haloarenes of Chemistry – Class 12

Answer»

Correct option is (d) CH3CH=CClCH2CH3

Easy EXPLANATION: In CH3CH=CClCH2CH3, the Cl is bonded DIRECTLY to the C atom of a C-C DOUBLE bond, and hence it is a vinylic halide. CH3CHClCH3 is an alkyl halide whereas CH2=CHCHCl2 and (CH3)2C=CHCH2Cl are allylic halides.
