Electron delocalization in benzylic radicals

As in Section 10.3 where we counted the decreased bond-dissociation enthalpy in propene compared with 2-methylpropane as evidence for stabilization of allyl radical by delocalization of the unpaired electron, we attribute the decreased C—H bond strength in toluene versus propene as reflecting better electron delocalization in benzyl radical versus allyl.
