JEE Mains · Chemistry · STD 11 - 8.4. Organic chemistry reaction mechanism

Given below are two statements:
Statement I: \(\left( CH _3\right)_3 \stackrel{\oplus}{ C }\) is more stable than \(\stackrel{\oplus}{ C } H _3\) as nine hyperconjugation interactions are possible in \(\left( CH _3\right)_3 \stackrel{\oplus}{ C }\).
Statement II: \(\stackrel{\oplus}{ C } H _3\) is less stable than \(\left( CH _3\right)_3 \stackrel{\oplus}{ C }\) as only three hyperconjugation interactions are possible in \(\stackrel{\oplus}{ C } H _3\).
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.

  1. A Statement I is true but Statement II is false
  2. B Both Statement I and Statement II are true
  3. C Both Statement I and Statement II are false
  4. D Statement I is false but Statement II is true
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) Statement I is true but Statement II is false

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

S-1 : \(\left( CH _3\right)_3 C ^{+}>\stackrel{+}{ C } H _3\); due to hyperconjugation S-2 : False
