The most stable carbocation, among the following is
Options
- A( CH ₃ )₃ C - C H - CH ₃
- BCH ₃- CH ₂- C H - CH ₂- CH ₃
- CCH ₃- C H - CH ₂- CH ₂- CH ₃
- DCH ₃- CH ₂- C H ₂
Correct answer
C. CH ₃- C H - CH ₂- CH ₂- CH ₃
Step-by-step solution
CH ₃ + C H CH ₂ CH ₂ CH ₃ is the most stable carbocation among the given carbocations. It is because the number of - H atom attached to carbocation is maximum in CH ₃ + C CH ₂ CH ₂ CH ₃ . Thus, it has maximum number of hyperconjugating structure hence, it is most stable.
