Identify the correct classification for the organic halogen compound shown:

Options

  1. ABenzylic halide
  2. BAryl halide
  3. CVinylic halide
  4. DAllylic halide

Correct answer

C. Vinylic halide

Step-by-step solution

The given compound has the structure C6H5−C(Br)=CH2\text{C}_6\text{H}_5-\text{C}(\text{Br})=\text{CH}_2.

In this molecule, the halogen atom (bromine) is directly attached to an sp2sp^2 hybridized carbon atom of a carbon-carbon double bond (>C=C<>\text{C}=\text{C}<).

Compounds in which the halogen atom is bonded to an sp2sp^2 hybridized carbon atom of an aliphatic double bond are classified as vinylic halides.

Therefore, the given compound is a vinylic halide.

Answer: Vinylic halide
