An organic reaction occurs by using reagents called electrophiles and nucleophiles via the formation of some reactive intermediates called carbocations, carbanions, free radicals, carbenes, nitrenes, radical cations, and radical anions.
The most stable carbocation is :

A

`Ph overset (oplus) CH_2`

B

C

D

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
(b) Due to hyperconjugation of `Me` group (three `H.C` structure), `(b)` is more stable.

Organic reactions take place through the formations of reactive carbon intermediates formed by cleavage of covalent bonds. Formation of these intermediates depends upon the dissociation energies of covalent bonds. Which is most stable carbocation ?

Passage Organic compounds mainly consist of covalent bonds. The electron pair in these covalent bonds may undergo displacement either of their own or under the influence of other species. The cleavage of covalent bond between two atoms takes place in homolytic or heterolytic fashion. The homolytic fission results into free radicals while heterolytic fission results into carbocations and carbanions. These are also called reaction intermediates and are attacked by electrophiles and nucleophiles. The electrophiles seek electron rich sites while nucleophiles seek electron deficient sites.
