The position of Br in the compound in `CH_(2)=CHC(Br)(CH_(3))_(2)` can be classified as:

Options

A. allyl
B. aryl
C. vinyl
D. secondary

Answer

A

Explanation

Allyl halides are those compounds in which the halogen atom is bonded to `sp^(3)` hybridised carbon atom next to carbon carbon-double bond.
e.g., `CH_(2)=CH-CH_(2)X and CH_(3)CH=CHC(Br)(CH_(3))_(2)`
Aryl halides are the compounds in which the halogen atom is bonded to the `sp^(2)` hybridised carbon atom of an aromatic ring.
e.g.,
Vinyl halides are the compounds in which the halogen atom is bonded to the `sp^(2)` hybridised carban atom of a carbon carbon double bond.
e.g., `CH_(2)=CH-X`
Secondary alkyl halides are the compounds in which the halogen atom is bonded to the `sp^(3)` hybridised carbon atom which is further bonded to two alkyl groups and one hydrogen atom
e.g., `R-underset(H)underset(|)overset(R)overset(|)C-X`
