Question

Which is an example of a benzylic halide?

• A.
• B.
• C.
• D.

Answer 1

The correct option is C

In benzylic halide, halogen atom bonded to a $s{p}^3-C$ atom which is directly attached to a benzene ring​.
Hence, c is an example of benzylic halide.
In vinylic halide, halogen atom is attached to a $s{p}^2-C$ atom of a carbon-carbon double bond $C＝C$. Thus, b is vinylic halide.
In allylic halide, halogen atom is attached to a $s{p}^3-C$ atom adjacent to a carbon-carbon double bond $C=C$. Thus, a and d are allylic halide.​
