Chemistry Organic Chemistry - Some Basic Principles and Techniques JEE Main 2024

The correct stability order of carbocations is

(A)CH₃⁺ > CH₃–CH₂⁺ > (CH₃)₂CH⁺ > (CH₃)₃C⁺
(B)(CH₃)₃C⁺ > CH₃–CH₂⁺ > (CH₃)₂CH⁺ > CH₃⁺
(C)CH₃⁺ > (CH₃)₂CH⁺ > CH₃–CH₂⁺ > (CH₃)₃C⁺
(D)(CH₃)₃C⁺ > (CH₃)₂CH⁺ > CH₃–CH₂⁺ > CH₃⁺Correct

Answer: (D)

Solution

Carbocation stability order is tertiary > secondary > primary > methyl, because more
