Question

The position of —Br in the compound in CH3CH=CHC(Br)(CH3)2 can be classified as . (A) allyl (B) aryl (C) vinyl (D) secondary

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Allyl halides are those compounds in which the halogen atom is bonded to

s p^{3}

hybridised carbon atom next to carbon-carbon-double bond e.g:

C H_{2} = C H - C H_{2} X

and

C H_{3} C H = C H C (B r) (C H_{3})_{2}

The compounds in which the halogen atom is bonded to the sp

^{2}

hybridised carbon atom of an aromatic ring are aryl halides.

The compounds in which the halogen atom is bonded to the sp

^{2}

hybridised carbon atom of a carbon-carbon double bond are vinyl halides.

e.g.,

C H_{2} = C H - X

The compounds in which the halogen atom is bonded to the

s p^{3}

hybridised carbon atom which is further bonded with two alkyl groups and one hydrogen atom are secondary alkyl halides.
