Hex-1-ene undergoes ionization and fragmentation to expel a propyl radical, as shown below. The curved arrows for the fragmentation step are to be added. 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.
