26. In a formal sense, the formation of allylic carbocation intermediate by protonation of the center carbon overwhelms that of vinyl cation. However, kinetically favored protonation furnishes the vinyl cation intermediate. This result could be explained by stereoelectronic factors. Because the allene structure is nonplanar, an initial protonation of the center carbon leads to a twisted structure that avoids allylic conjugation. See: a) K. B. Wiberg, C. M. Breneman, T. J. LePage, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1990, 112, 61.
