JEE Mains · Chemistry · STD 12 - 6. Haloalkanes and Haloarenes

Choose the correct statement regarding the formation of carbocations \(A\) and \(B\) given :- \({C{H_3} - C{H_2} - CH = C{H_2} + HBr\\,\to \,CH _{3}- CH _{2}- CH _{2}- C^{+}H _{2}+ Br ^{-}} _{"A"}\) \({C{H_3} - C{H_2} - CH = C{H_2} + HBr\\, \to \,CH _{3}- CH _{2}- C^{+}H - CH _{3}+ Br ^{-}}_{"B"}\)

  1. A Carbocation \(B\) is more stable and formed relatively at faster rate
  2. B Carbocation \(A\) is more stable and formed relatively at slow rate
  3. C Carbocation \(B\) is more stable and formed relatively at slow rate
  4. D Carbocation \(A\) is more stable and formed relatively at faster rate
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) Carbocation \(B\) is more stable and formed relatively at faster rate

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

This is more stable due to secondary cation formation and formed with faster rate due to low activation energy.
