Protonation of isoprene can occur in two different locations to form two different resonance stabilized allylic cations Which is more stable A B C D 1 2 Compound 1 because the positive charge is on primary and secondary allylic carbocations Compound 1 because the positive charge is on a primary and a tertiary carbon Compound 2 because the positive charge is on a primary and a secondary carbon Compound 2 because the positive charge is on a secondary carbon isoprene H A H A and a tertiary A A
