dekho gi williamson ether follows SN2 mechanism now in allylic ether branching is less due to doublr bond also the double bond makes it more compact & polar
why allylic halide is more reactive than alkyl halide in williamson's synthesis of ether ?????

Because of the stability of the allylic carbocation.

stability ka koi chakkar nahi hai ani
it strictly follows SN2 mechanism

See, even stability of carbocation is a reason for reactivity of allylic halide. But you said that was not so. That's why I posted the above reply [1]
