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

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]
