NEET2004ChemistryGeneral Organic ChemistryActual
The correct order of stability of carbocations, is :
Options
- A1^ 2^ 3^ + C H ₃
- B+ C H ₃ 1^ 2^ 3^
- C3^ 2^ 1^ + C H ₃
- D2^ 3^ 1^ + C H ₃
Correct answer
B. + C H ₃ 1^ 2^ 3^
Step-by-step solution
More the +I alkyl groups on electron deficient carbon, more stable will be the cabocation. Hence, 3^ carbocations are more stable. The correct order is 3^ 2^ 1^ CH ₃^+
