The correct order of stability of following carbocations is : The correct order of stability of following carbocations is :

Options

  1. AC>B>A>D\mathrm{C}\gt\mathrm{B}\gt\mathrm{A}\gt\mathrm{D}
  2. BA>B>C>D\mathrm{A}\gt\mathrm{B}\gt\mathrm{C}\gt\mathrm{D}
  3. CB>C>A>D\mathrm{B}\gt\mathrm{C}\gt\mathrm{A}\gt\mathrm{D}
  4. DC>A>B>D\mathrm{C}\gt\mathrm{A}\gt\mathrm{B}\gt\mathrm{D}

Correct answer

D. C>A>B>D\mathrm{C}\gt\mathrm{A}\gt\mathrm{B}\gt\mathrm{D}

Step-by-step solution

The correct order of stability of following carbocations is :
Solution :- C is aromatic due to ⊕ve\oplus \mathrm{ve} charge hence it is most stable A have more resonance structure B have less resonance structure D have only hyper conjugation Consider First Aromaticity >> Resonance >> Hyper conjugation Ans. D << B << A << C
