Q. In which of the following compounds the carbon marked with asterisk is expected to have greatest positive charge?

Organic Chemistry – Some Basic Principles and Techniques

Solution:

As $Cl$ is most electronegative element among $Cl, Mg, Br$ and $C$ thus, it has greater - $I$ effect and the asterisk marked carbon in $^{*}CH_{3}— CH_{2}— Cl$ is expected to have greater positive charge.
