The given compound is an example of _____.

  1. A

    aryl halide

  2. B

    allylic halide

  3. C

    vinylic halide

  4. D

    benzylic halide

Solution

The halogen X is attached to an carbon that is itself attached to a C=C double bond — that is the defining geometry of an allylic halide.

Aryl: halogen on the aromatic ring; vinylic: halogen on the C=C carbon itself; benzylic: halogen on the carbon directly attached to the ring.
