In organic chemistry, a vinyl halide is a compound with the formula CH2=CHX (X = halide). The term vinyl is often used to describe any alkenyl group. ... Related compounds include vinylidene chloride and vinylidene fluoride.
In organohalogen compound: Dehydrohalogenation of a dihalide. Treatment of a geminal dihalide (both halogens on the same carbon) or a vicinal dihalide (halogens on adjacent carbons) with a base such as sodium ethoxide (NaOCH2CH3) yields a vinylic halide.
