Chapter 17, Problem 17.1P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The allylic carbons in the given compound are to be identified.

Concept introduction:

Hydrocarbons are formed by carbon and hydrogen atom. These atoms form a bond with each other and with other atoms through the sharing of electrons. Alkenes have carbon-carbon double bonds in them. The allylic carbon atoms are carbon atoms which are bonded to a carbon atom that make the double bond with another carbon atom.
