Chemistry Question on Organic Chemistry- Some Basic Principles and Techniques

Decreasing order of stability of ions is (i) \quad CH3−C+H−CH3CH_3 - C^+H - CH_3 (ii) \quad CH3−C+H−OCH3CH_3-C^+H-OCH_3 (iii) \quad CH3−C+H−COCH3CH_3 - C^+H - COCH_3

A

(i) > (ii) > (iii)

B

(ii) > (i) > (iii)

C

(ii) > (iii) > (i)

D

(iii) > (i) > (ii)

Answer

(ii) > (i) > (iii)

Explanation

Solution

The dispersal of the charge stabilizes the carbocation. More the number of electron donating groups are present, greater the dispersal of positive charge and therefore more the stability of carbocation can be observed. So, the order is CH3−C+H−OCH3>CH3−C+H−CH3>CH3−C+H−COCH3CH _{3}- \overset{+}{C}H - OCH _{3} > CH _{3} - \overset{+}{C}H - CH _{3} > CH _{3}- \overset{+}{C}H - COCH _{3}
