Question

Among the following, the vinylic halide is ____________.

• A. R - CHX - R
• B. \( CH_2 = CH - X \)
• C.
• D. \( CH_2 = CH - CH_2 - X \)

Hint:

Vinylic halides have halogens attached directly to a double-bonded carbon, distinguishing them from allylic or aryl halides.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Vinylic halides are compounds in which the halogen \( (X) \) is directly bonded to a doubly bonded carbon (alkene carbon). 
- Contains a halogen on a saturated carbon, making it an alkyl halide.
- (c) Represents an aryl halide (halogen attached to a benzene ring).
- (d) Contains a halogen on an allylic position, making it an allylic halide.
- Contains a halogen directly bonded to a doubly bonded carbon, making it a vinylic halide.
Thus, the correct answer is \( CH_2 = CH - X \).
