In the following carbocation, \(\mathrm{H} / \mathrm{CH}_3\) that is most likely to migrate to the positively charged carbon is

  1. A \(\mathrm{CH}_3\) at \(\mathrm{C}-4\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{H}\) at \(\mathrm{C}-4\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{CH}_3\) at \(\mathrm{C}-2\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{H}\) at \(\mathrm{C}-2\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\mathrm{H}\) at \(\mathrm{C}-2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Hydride shift from \(\mathrm{C}-2\) will give most stable resonance stabilised carbocation as Fig.
