The correct Answer is:
To solve the question "Rearrangement is not possible in:", we need to analyze the stability of the carbocations formed in the given options. Rearrangement occurs to form more stable carbocations. Let's go through the options step-by-step. ### Step 1: Understand the concept of carbocation stability Carbocations can rearrange to form more stable species. The stability order of carbocations is: - Tertiary (most stable) - Secondary - Primary (least stable) ### Step 2: Analyze each option #### Option A: Benzyl carbocation (C6H5-CH2^+) - This is a primary carbocation. - It can rearrange to a more stable secondary carbocation due to the presence of the benzene ring, which provides resonance stabilization. - **Conclusion**: Rearrangement is possible. #### Option B: CH3C^+(H)OCH3 - This is a secondary carbocation. - A hydride shift can occur to form a more stable tertiary carbocation. - **Conclusion**: Rearrangement is possible. #### Option C: Cyclic carbocation - This is a secondary carbocation in a cyclic structure. - Any rearrangement (like a hydride shift) will still result in a secondary carbocation. - **Conclusion**: Rearrangement is NOT possible since the stability does not increase. #### Option D: CH3-CH^+(CH3)-CH2-CH3 - This is a secondary carbocation. - A hydride shift can occur to form a tertiary carbocation. - **Conclusion**: Rearrangement is possible. ### Final Answer The compound in which rearrangement is not possible is **Option C** (the cyclic secondary carbocation). ---
