General Organic Chemistry Question 37
Question 37 - 2024 (30 Jan Shift 2)
The correct stability order of carbocations is
(1) $\left(CH _3\right) _3 C^{+}>CH _3-\stackrel{+}{C} H _2>\left(CH _3\right) _2 \stackrel{+}{C} H>\stackrel{+}{C} H _3$
(2) $\stackrel{+}{C} H _3>\left(CH _3\right) _2 \stackrel{+}{C} H>CH _3-\stackrel{+}{C} H _2>\left(CH _3\right) _3 \stackrel{+}{C}$
(3) $\left(CH _3\right) _3 \stackrel{+}{C}>\left(CH _3\right) _2 \stackrel{+}{C} H>CH _3-\stackrel{+}{C} H _2>\stackrel{+}{C} H _3$
(4) $\stackrel{+}{C} H _3>CH _3-\stackrel{+}{C} H _2>CH _3-\stackrel{+}{C} H -CH_3>\left(CH _3\right) C^{+}$

Answer (3)
Solution
Formula: Stability of Carbocations
More no. of hyperconjugable Hydrogens, more stable is the carbocations.
