The position of Br in the compound in `CH_(3)=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_2X` and `CH_3CH=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.

Vinyl halides are the compounds in which the halogen atom is bonded to the `sp^2` hybridised carbon atom of a 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
