EBK GET READY FOR ORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Chapter G, Problem G.3YT

Concept introduction:

An alkenes’ molecular ion tends to expel an alkyl radical from an allylic carbon producing a resonance stabilized allylic carbon. The driving force for this process is the stability that is gained by the resonance delocalization of the positive charge in the resulting allylic cation.
