Which of the following is not an allylic halide?

Which of the following is not an allylic halide?

Options

  1. A4-bromopent-2-ene
  2. B3-bromo-2-methylbut-1-ene
  3. C1-bromobut-2-ene
  4. D4-bromobut-1-ene

Correct answer

D. 4-bromobut-1-ene

Step-by-step solution

An allylic halide is a compound in which the halogen atom is bonded to an sp3sp^3 hybridized carbon atom that is adjacent to a carbon-carbon double bond.

Let us examine the structure of each option:

4-bromopent-2-ene: CH3−CH=CH−CH(Br)−CH3CH_3-CH=CH-CH(Br)-CH_3
The bromine atom is attached to C4, which is an sp3sp^3 carbon adjacent to the C2=C3 double bond. It is an allylic halide.

3-bromo-2-methylbut-1-ene: CH2=C(CH3)−CH(Br)−CH3CH_2=C(CH_3)-CH(Br)-CH_3
The bromine atom is attached to C3, which is an sp3sp^3 carbon adjacent to the C1=C2 double bond. It is an allylic halide.

1-bromobut-2-ene: Br−CH2−CH=CH−CH3Br-CH_2-CH=CH-CH_3
The bromine atom is attached to C1, which is an sp3sp^3 carbon adjacent to the C2=C3 double bond. It is an allylic halide.

4-bromobut-1-ene: CH2=CH−CH2−CH2−BrCH_2=CH-CH_2-CH_2-Br
The bromine atom is attached to C4, which is an sp3sp^3 carbon adjacent to C3 (another sp3sp^3 carbon), not the double bond. Thus, it is not an allylic halide.

Answer: 4-bromobut-1-ene
