Answer:

hello your question is incomplete attached below is the complete question

answer :

we use Isomerization because conjugated allylic carbocation is more stable when compared to a Non-conjugated Allylic carbocation

Step-by-step explanation:

Reason for the mechanism

we use Isomerization because conjugated allylic carbocation is more stable when compared to a Non-conjugated Allylic carbocation
