Is this allylic chloride formed by an ionic or radical mechanism? Is it the more stable isomer?




Benzylic carbocation is formed as it is stable due to resonance.
So Cl attaches to benzylic position.
More substituted alkenes are more stable so the terminal double bond changes its position.
(Also this isn’t free radical reaction)
