Which among the following is vinylic halide?
Options
- ACH ₂= CH - CH ₂- X
- BCH ₃- CH = CH - X
- CCH ₃- C C - X
- DC ₆ H ₅- CH ₂- X
Correct answer
B. CH ₃- CH = CH - X
Step-by-step solution
Definition of Vinylic Halide: An organic compound where a halogen atom ( X ) is bonded directly to an sp ^2 hybridized carbon that is part of a carbon–carbon double bond ( C=C ). A) Haloalkane: The halogen is bonded to an sp ^3 hybridized carbon, as in chloroethane ( CH₃CH₂Cl ), which does not satisfy the definition. B) Haloalkene: Includes structures where the halogen is attached to a carbon in an alkene. Vinylic halides (e.g., chloroethene, CH₂=CH-Cl ) are a subset, with the halogen on an sp ^2 carbon of the doub
