Question
Which among the following carbocation is most reactive?
Options
`"CH"_3^+`
\[\ce{CH3 - CH_2^+}\]
(CH3)2 CH+
(CH3)3 C+
MCQ
Solution
`"CH"_3^+`
Explanation:
Because of the order of stability of carbocation due to hyperconjugation and inductive effect, `"CH"_3^+` carbocation is the most reactive. 3° carbocation > 2° carbocation > 1° carbocation. As a result, the 1° carbocation is the least stable and the most reactive.
