Example of vinylic halide is
- a✓
- b
- c
- d
Step 1: Define vinylic halide
A vinylic halide is a compound where the halogen (X) is directly attached to an hybridized carbon atom of a carbon-carbon double bond ().
Step 2: Analyze each option
- Option (a): Shows a cyclohexene ring with X attached to one of the carbons of the double bond. This is a vinylic halide.
- Option (b): Shows benzene with a side chain. The halogen is on an carbon (benzylic position), not vinylic.
- Option (c): Shows benzene with X directly attached to the aromatic ring. This is an aryl halide, not vinylic.
- Option (d): Shows cyclohexane (no double bond) with X attached. This is an alkyl halide, not vinylic.
Step 3: Conclusion
Only option (a) has the halogen attached to an carbon of a double bond.
Answer: (a)
Key Points:
- Vinylic halide: X on carbon of
- Aryl halide: X on aromatic ring
- Benzylic halide: X on carbon adjacent to aromatic ring
- Alkyl halide: X on carbon
