Hyperconjugation is most useful for stabilising which of the following carbocations?

Options

  1. ANeo-pentyl
  2. BTert-butyl
  3. CIso-propyl
  4. DEthyl

Correct answer

B. Tert-butyl

Step-by-step solution

On the basis of hyperconjugation, stability order of different alkyl carbocations is 3∘>2∘>1∘>3^{\circ}\gt2^{\circ}\gt1^{\circ}\gt methyl In tt-butyl cation, the C -atom bearing the positive charge is attached to three methyl groups, thus it will have maximum hyperconjugate structures, which give it maximum stability.
