When 2,4-hexadiene is protonated, a resonance-stabilized secondary allylic carbocation is formed. Draw the curved arrow notation
below that shows the movement of electrons between the two major resonance structures.
1 answer:
Answer:see the image for the structure of the allylic carbocation
Explanation:
When 2,4-hexanediene is protonated at the 5-position as shown in the image, a carbonation is formed which can be stabilized by resonance. The positive charge can be found on carbon 4 or carbon 2 due to resonance of the allylic carbonation. The both structures are shown and electron movements were depicted using curved arrow notation in the structures shown in the image attached.
