Question

Allyl Bromide is:
A.
B.
C.
D.

Answer 1

Allyl bromide can be defined as the bromine attached to the carbon attached to the double bonded carbon atom . Allyl bromide is an alkyl halide where bromine can be replaced by any halogens like fluorine ,chlorine ,bromine, iodine.

Complete answer:
In an organic compound like ${{C}_{3}}{{H}_{5}}Br$ if the bromine is attached to the carbon which is attached with the double bonded carbon then it is classified as allyl bromide or allyl halide.
Allyl bromide is an alkylating agent which is generally used in the synthesis of polymers, pharmaceuticals and many other organic compounds. Physical characteristics of allyl bromide consists of a colourless liquid with intense, acrid and persistent smell. Density of allyl bromide is generally 1.4 gram per centimetre cube. Molar mass of allyl bromide is 120.99 gram per mole. Boiling point of allyl bromide is 71 degree centigrade.
It is generally produced commercially from allyl alcohol. Alternatively allyl chloride does react with the hydrogen bromide in the presence of copper bromide. This compound is mainly used as an electrophilic alkylating agent. Allyl zinc bromide can be produced by treating this compound with elemental zinc.
So according to the definitions and theory mentioned above the correct answer from the above options is option number ( A).
As only in option A the bromine is attached to the carbon which is again attached to the double bonded carbon atom.

So our suitable answer is option A.

Note:
If the bromine or halogen are attached directly to the double bonded carbon atom then it is known as vinyl bromide or vinyl halide. Allyl bromide is used in the synthesis of polymers, medicines and preparation of other compounds.
