Question
Which of the following carbocation is most stable?
Options
\[\ce{(CH3)3C*^+CH2}\]
\[\ce{(CH3)3^+C}\]
\[\ce{CH3CH2^+CH2}\]
\[\ce{CH3^+CH CH2C}\]
Solution
\[\ce{(CH3)3^+C}\]
Explanation:
\[\ce{(CH3)3^+C}\] is a tertiary carbocation. A tertiary carbocation is the most stable carbocation due to the electron releasing effect of three methyl groups. An increased + I effect by three methyl groups stabilizes the positive charge on the carbocation.
