Which among the following is an allylic halide?
Options
- A1-Bromopropene
- B2-Bromopropene
- C3-Bromopropene
- D4-Bromobut-1-ene
Correct answer
C. 3-Bromopropene
Step-by-step solution
An allylic halide contains a halogen attached to an sp^3 carbon adjacent to a carbon-carbon double bond. Examining the options: A) 1-Bromopropene ( CH₃-CH=CH-Br ): bromine is attached to an sp^2 carbon, making this vinylic. B) 2-Bromopropene ( CH₂=C(Br)CH₃ ): bromine is attached to an sp^2 carbon, also vinylic. C) 3-Bromopropene ( CH₂=CH-CH₂Br ): bromine is attached to an sp^3 carbon adjacent to the double bond, satisfying the allylic condition. D) 4-Bromobut-1-ene ( BrCH₂CH₂CH=CH₂ ): bromine is attached to an sp^3
