Which of the following compounds prossesses the `C-H` bonds with the lowest bond dissociation energy?

A

Toluene

B

Benzene

C

n-Pentane

D

2, 2-Dimethylpropane

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
The C-H bond of the methyl group in toluene has lowest bond dissociation energy (both for homolytic and heterolytic cleavage) benzyl carbocation as well as benzyl free radical are highly stable due to resonance hyperconjugation
