  1. A.(A) Benzylic halide
  2. B.(B) Aryl halide
  3. C.(C) Allylic halide
  4. D.(D) Vinylic halide

Correct Answer

(C) (C) Allylic halide

Solution & Explanation

An allylic halide has the halogen on an sp carbon directly attached to a double bond. Here the -bearing carbon is bonded to the unit (allylic position) and is two carbons away from the ring, so it is not benzylic; it is sp, so not vinylic or aryl. Hence it is an allylic halide.
