Allylic strain refers to the steric and electronic interactions that occur in allylic systems, where substituents are located on adjacent carbon atoms in a double bond configuration or where there is a single carbon-carbon bond adjacent to a double bond. This strain arises mainly from the positioning of substituents at the allylic positions, which can lead to increased steric hindrance and torsional strain.
