The structure of triphenylmethyl cation ...

The structure of triphenylmethyl cation is given below. This is very stable and some of its salts can be stored for months. Explain the cause of high stability of this cation.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Triphenyl methyl cation is very stable, due to resonance.
In triphenyl methyl carbocation positive charge can be deiocalized in all the 3 ring system. Causing the lowering of energy and making the carbocation very stable

Under common reaction conditions, a carboncation rearranges to another carbocation of equal or greater stability. For example secondary carbocation will rearrange to a tertiary carbocation. It will not rearrange to a less stable primary carbocation. This generalization is not absolute, and because there is not is a high energy barrier to the rearrangement of carbocations, rearrangement to a less stable cation can occur if it offers the chance to forme a more stable product. In which of the following cations rearrangement takes place?
