(xii)

o-Br-C₆H₄CH(CH₃)CH₂CH₃

Answer

IUPAC Name: 1-Bromo-2-(1-methylpropyl)benzene. Classification: Aryl halide.

Explanation

For IUPAC naming, identify the longest carbon chain as parent, number to give lowest locants to substituents, and name substituents alphabetically. For classification: Alkyl halides have halogen on sp³ carbon of alkyl chain (1°=bonded to 1 carbon, 2°=bonded to 2 carbons, 3°=bonded to 3 carbons). Allylic halides have halogen on sp³ carbon adjacent to C=C. Benzylic halides have halogen on sp³ carbon attached to aromatic ring. Vinylic halides have halogen on sp² carbon of C=C. Aryl halides have halogen directly bonded to aromatic ring sp² carbon.
