Q. Arrangement of $( CH_3)_ 3- C -( CH _3)_ 2- CH _2 CH _3- CH _2$ - when attached to benzyl or an unsaturated group in increasing order of inductive effect is

Organic Chemistry – Some Basic Principles and Techniques

Solution:

In general greater the number of alkyl groups attached to a positively charged Catoms, the greater is the hyperconjugation interaction and stabilization of the cation. Hyperconjugation effect increases in the order,
$\left( CH _{3}\right) C -<\left( CH _{3}\right)_{2} CH -< CH _{3} CH _{2}-.$
