To what chemical family does chlorallylene belong?

A Substituted allyl
B Esters
C Alcohols
D Glycol ethers
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) Substituted allyl. Chlorallylene, also known as 3-chloroallyl alcohol, belongs to the substituted allyl chemical family. Substituted allyl compounds are organic molecules that contain a three-carbon allyl group with one or more substituents, in this case, a chlorine atom. The presence of the chlorine atom on the allyl group is what distinguishes chlorallylene from a simple allyl compound. The other answer choices are incorrect because esters, alcohols, and glycol ethers are different chemical families that do not accurately describe the structure and properties of chlorallylene.
