Allylic C−H bonds are about 15% weaker than the C−H bonds in ordinary sp 3 carbon centers and are thus more reactive. Benzylic and allylic are related in terms of structure, bond strength, and reactivity. Other reactions that tend to occur with allylic compounds are allylic oxidations, ene reactions, and the Tsuji–Trost reaction.
Allylic strain in an olefin. Allylic strain (also known as A 1,3 strain, 1,3-allylic strain, or A-strain) in organic chemistry is a type of strain energy resulting from the interaction between a substituent on one end of an olefin (a synonym for an alkene) with an allylic substituent on the other end.

Allylic shifts become the dominant reaction pathway when there is substantial resistance to a normal (non-allylic) substitution. For nucleophilic substitution, such resistance is known when there is substantial steric hindrance at or around the leaving group, or if there is a geminal substituent destabilizing an accumulation of positive charge.
Allylic methyl and ethyl groups are close together. Allylic strain, or A 1,3 strain is closely associated to syn-pentane strain. An example of allylic strain can be seen in the compound 2-pentene. It's possible for the ethyl substituent of the olefin to rotate such that the terminal methyl group is brought near to the vicinal methyl group of ...
In organic chemistry, the ene reaction (also known as the Alder-ene reaction by its discoverer Kurt Alder in 1943) is a chemical reaction between an alkene with an allylic hydrogen (the ene) and a compound containing a multiple bond (the enophile), in order to form a new σ-bond with migration of the ene double bond and 1,5 hydrogen shift.
A 1,2-rearrangement is an organic reaction where a substituent moves from one atom to another atom in a chemical compound. In a 1,2 shift the movement involves two adjacent atoms but moves over larger distances are possible.
The allyl ligand is commonly in organometallic chemistry.Usually, allyl ligands bind to metals via all three carbon atoms, the η 3-binding mode.The η 3-allyl group is classified as an LX-type ligand in the Green LXZ ligand classification scheme, serving as a 3e – donor using neutral electron counting and 4e – donor using ionic electron counting.
In allyl compounds, where the next carbon is saturated but substituted once, allylic rearrangement and related reactions are observed. Allyl Grignard reagents (organomagnesiums) can attack with the vinyl end first. If next to an electron-withdrawing group, conjugate addition (Michael addition) can occur.
