Problem 3
Why do allylic compounds undergo SN1 and E1 reactions more rapidly than alkyl compounds?
A
Allylic compounds are more polar, increasing reaction rates.
B
Allylic compounds have more steric hindrance, facilitating faster reactions.
C
The resonance stabilization of allylic carbocations makes them more stable, accelerating SN1 and E1 reactions.
D
Allylic compounds have stronger bonds, promoting faster reactions.
