Question

Allylic rearrangements (pseudo-rearrangements) often yield multiple isomeric products without the actual carbon skeleton shifting. This phenomenon occurs because:

Answer: C

💡 Solution & Explanation

The intermediate (such as an allyl cation) is stabilized by resonance, spreading the charge across multiple carbons. Incoming reagents can bond to any of these electron-deficient sites, creating a mixture of isomeric products.
