Molecules with delocalized π bonds are called conjugated unsaturated systems.

Chapter 13
Conjugated unsaturated systems have a p orbital on a carbon adjacent to a double bond
The p orbital can come from another double or triple bondThe p orbital may be the empty p orbital of a carbocation or a p orbital with a single electron in it (a radical)Conjugation affords special stability to the moleculeConjugated molecules can be detected using UV spectroscopy

13.2 Allylic Substitution and the Allyl Radical
ORGANIC CHEMISTRY

Reaction of propene with bromine varies depending on reaction conditions
At low temperature the halogen adds across the double bondAt high temperature or at very low concentration of halogen an allylic substitution occurs

NBS provides a continuous low concentration of bromine for the radical reactionA low bromine concentration favors allylic substitution over alkene addition
ORGANIC CHEMISTRY

Chapter 13
The radical reaction is initiated by a small amount of bromine radical formed by exposure of NBS to light or peroxides

Stability arises from the delocalization of the positive charge over C1 and C3

13.5 Summary of Rules for Resonance
ORGANIC CHEMISTRY
Department of Chemistry, Xiamen University
Chapter 13
13.5A Rules for Writing Resonance Structures
1. Resonance structures exist only on paper.2. In writing resonance structures we are only
allowed to move electrons.3. All of the structures must be proper Lewis
structures.4. All resonance structures must have the same
number of unpaired electrons.5. All atoms that are a part of the delocalized
system must lie in a plane or be nearly planar

6. The energy of the actual molecule is lower than the energy that might be estimated for any contributing structure.
7. Equivalent resonance structures make equal contributions to the hybrid, and a system described by them has a large resonance stabilization.
8. The more stable a structure is (when taken by itself), the greater is its contribution to the hybrid.

13.5B Estimating the Relative Stability of Resonance Structures
a) The more covalent bonds a structure has, the more stable it is.
b) Structures in which all of the atoms have a complete valence shell of electrons(i.e., the noble gas structure) are especially stable and make large contributions to the hybrid.
c) Charge separation decreases stability.
