Hello everybody,

I would like to thank you for all the responses.

But there still is something that concerns me. Namely, what is the
hybridization of the carbon bearing the new formed carbonium ion?
sp or sp2? I guess that sp. I thought that carbonium ions placed on
sp-hybridized carbon are less stable than ones on sp2 carbon.
Why then an rearrangement cannot occur to give the more stable
allylic one, as usually happens?
