Question

Which of the following alkyl groups shows maximum positive inductive effect?

विकल्प

• \[\ce{CH3 - CH2 -}\]

• \[\ce{(CH3)2CH -}\]

• \[\ce{(CH3)3C -}\]

• \[\ce{CH3 -}\]

Answer 1

\[\ce{(CH3)3C -}\]

Explanation:

More the number of alkyl groups more will be the positive inductive (+I) effect.

+I effect: \[\ce{(CH3)3C - > (CH3)2CH - > CH3CH2 - > CH3 -}\]
