Question

The correct order of stability of the following carbocation is (A) III > II > I (B) III > I > II (C) I > II > III (D) I > II > II

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

III is most stable due to the resonance stabilisation of oxygen at α-position. <img class="img-fluid question-image" alt="image" src="https://cdn.tardigrade.in/img/question/chemistry/28ed0325f27d545969c2cfff8328670c-.png" /> I is least stable due to adjacent, strong electron withdrawing carbonyl group.

Q. The correct order of stability of the following carbocation is

III > II > I

III > I > II

I > II > III

I > II > II

III is most stable due to the resonance stabilisation of oxygen at $α$ -position.

I is least stable due to adjacent, strong electron withdrawing carbonyl group.
