What is neo pentyl halide?

Answer 1

CH3-C(CH3)2-CH2-X

Answer 2

Neopentyl halide refers to a halogenated derivative of neopentane, specifically a compound where at least one of the hydrogen atoms in neopentane is substituted with a halogen atom such as fluorine, chlorine, bromine, or iodine. These halide compounds are commonly used in organic synthesis and as building blocks for more complex molecules due to the steric hindrance provided by the neopentyl group.
