Question: The most unstable carbocation is...

The most unstable carbocation is

A

CH3C⊕H2\stackrel { \oplus } { \mathrm { C } } \mathrm { H } _ { 2 }

B

Cl – CH2 – C⊕H2\stackrel { \oplus } { \mathrm { C } } \mathrm { H } _ { 2 }

C

C⊕H2\stackrel { \oplus } { \mathrm { C } } \mathrm { H } _ { 2 } – CHO

D

C⊕H2\stackrel { \oplus } { \mathrm { C } } \mathrm { H } _ { 2 } – O – CH3

Answer

C⊕H2\stackrel { \oplus } { \mathrm { C } } \mathrm { H } _ { 2 } – CHO

Explanation

Solution

most unstable due to strong – I effect of – CHO group
