A tertiary butyl carbocation is more stable than a secondary butyl carbocation because of which of the following?

  1. +R effect of -CH3 groups
  2. -R effect of -CH3 groups
  3. Hyperconjugation
  4. -I effect of -CH3 groups

Answer

(3) Hyperconjugation

Solution

tert-Butyl carbocation (CH3)3 C: 9 α-hydrogens ⇒ 9 hyperconjugative structures.

sec-Butyl carbocation CH3- CH-CH2-CH3: 5 α-hydrogens ⇒ 5 hyperconjugative structures.

As per NCERT, greater the number of alkyl groups (α-hydrogens) attached to the positively charged carbon, greater is the hyperconjugation and hence the stability of the carbocation.

-CH3 shows +I effect (not −I) and has no R effect.

The correct statement regarding electrophile is

  1. electrophile is a negatively charged species and form a bond by accepting a pair of electrons from another electrophile

  3. electrophile can be either neutral or positively charged species and can form a bond by accepting a pair of electrons from a nucleophile
  4. electrophile is a negatively charged species and can form a bond by accepting a pair of electrons from a nucleophile.
