General Organic Chemistry (GOC) · Class 11 · JEE Main Previous Year Question
Resonance stabilized carbocations among given species are:
- a
(A), (B) and (C) only
- b
(C) and (D) only
- c
(A), (B) and (D) only
- d✓
(A) and (B) only
(A) and (B) only
Step 1: Checking for Conjugation Resonance stabilization occurs when a positive charge is adjacent to a double bond or a lone pair.
- (A) Benzyl Cation: Stabilized by the phenyl ring resonance.
- (B) Allyl Cation: Stabilized by one double bond.
- (C) Cyclic Non-conjugated: The charge is not adjacent to the double bond.
- (D) Vinyl carbocation: The carbon double bond is not in conjugation with the carbonyl group.
Step 2: Conclusion (A) and (B) are resonance-stabilized.
Here is the complete list of carbocation stability based on real data from reputed organic book.
