Which of the following is a secondary allylic alcohol?
Options
- ACH ₂= CH - CH ₂- OH
- BCH ₃- CH = CH - CH ₂- OH
- CCH ₂= CH - C ( CH ₃ )₂- OH
Correct answer
B. CH ₃- CH = CH - CH ₂- OH
Step-by-step solution
CH ₃- CH = CH - CH ₂- CH ₂-X - In this structure, the halogen is attached to a carbon that is not adjacent to a C = C double bond, because it is two carbons away from the double bond. This does not make it an allylic halide. This is NOT an allylic halide. The correct answer is (2), which is not an allylic halide.
