Single Choice

IUPAC name of allyl chloride is:

A1-chloroethane
B3-chloro-1-propyne
C3-chloro-1-propene
Correct Answer
D1-chloropropene

Solution

Explanation:
The parent chain of allyl chloride consists of three carbons and a double bond. Therefore, propene will be the name of the parent chain. Double bond has priority over $$-Cl$$ (substituent) so numbering will start from the left side.
$$\mathrm{CH}_{2}=\mathrm{CH}-\mathrm{CH}_{2}-\mathrm{Cl}$$ is the formula of allyl chloride.


So, the IUPAC name is 3-chloro-1-propene.
Final Answer: Option (C)
