Organic Chemistry Basics 2 Question 23
23. In the following carbocation; $\mathrm{H} / \mathrm{CH}_{3}$ that is most likely to migrate to the positively charged carbon is
(2009)
(a) $\mathrm{CH}_{3}$ at $\mathrm{C}-4$
(b) $\mathrm{H}$ at $\mathrm{C}-4$
(c) $\mathrm{CH}_{3}$ at $\mathrm{C}-2$
(d) $\mathrm{H}$ at $\mathrm{C}-2$
Show Answer
Solution:
- $\mathrm{H}$ at $\mathrm{C}_{2}$ will migrate giving resonance stabilised carbocation.
