JEE Main2002ChemistryGeneral Organic ChemistryActual
Arrangement of ( CH ₃ )₃- C -, ( CH ₃ )₂- CH -, CH ₃- CH ₂ - when attached to benzyl or an unsaturated group in increasing order of inductive effect is
Options
- A( CH ₃ )₃- C - < ( CH ₃ )₂- CH - < CH ₃- CH ₂
- BCH ₃- CH ₂- < ( CH ₃ )₂- < CH - < ( CH ₃ )₃- C -
- C( CH ₃ )₂- CH - < ( CH ₃ )₃- C - < CH ₃,- CH ₂
- D( CH ₃ )₃- C - < CH ₃- CH ₂- ( CH ₃ )₂- CH -
Correct answer
B. CH ₃- CH ₂- < ( CH ₃ )₂- < CH - < ( CH ₃ )₃- C -
Step-by-step solution
CH ₃ group has + I effect, as number of - CH ₃ group increases, the inductive effect increases.
