The most readily available alkenyl halide is chloroethene vinyl chloride which can be prepared by a number of routes.
Alkenyl vs vinyl.
Vinylic carbocations are unstable as compare to the allyl carbocations as they lack p character.

From the perspective of applications the dominant member of this class of compounds is vinyl chloride which is produced on the scale of millions of.
It is equivalent to an ethylene molecule ch 2 ch 2 after removing one hydrogen atom the removed h atom can be replaced by any other group of atoms to form a molecule r ch ch 2 this group is very important in some industrial applications.
These reactions were covered in section 1 01 6.
An alkenyl group is a hydrocarbon group formed when a hydrogen atom is removed from an alkene group.
In contrast to vinyl allyl group is attached to the rest of the molecule through ch 2 group.
In vinyl group c c is directly attached to the rest of the chain.

A useful modification of this process uses hydrogen chloride in place of chlorine.
An alkenyl group is the fragment containing an open point of attachment on a carbon atom that would form if a hydrogen atom bonded to a doubly bonded carbon is removed from the molecule of an alkene.

The vinyl compounds are every reactive and they polymerize to form the vinyl polymers as in the case of polyvinyl acetate polyvinyl chloride and polyvinyl fluoride.
Both have c c double bonds but in different positions.
