Question: Arrange the carbocations below in order of increasing stability.

a.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Answer

Step by step solution

01

Stability of carbocation

Rules for the stability of carbocation:

1. More the resonance in the system more stable is the carbocation

2. More the hyperconjugation that is the number of hydrogen with respect to the carbocation more stable is the carbocation

3. More is the conjugation with the double bond in the molecule more stable is the carbocation

02

Order for Stability of carbocation

On the basis:

Rule 1: More the resonance in the system more stable is the carbocation

Rule 2: More the hyperconjugation that is the number of hydrogen with respect to the carbocation more stable is the carbocation

Order of the stability of carbocation

Methyl esters (RCO2CH3) undergo a cleavage reaction to yield carboxylate ions plus iodomethane on heating with LiI in dimethylformamide:

The following evidence has been obtained: (1) The reaction occurs much faster in DMF than in ethanol. (2) The corresponding ethyl ester (RCO2CH2CH3) cleaves approximately 10 times more slowly than the methyl ester. Propose a mechanism for the reaction. What other kinds of experimental evidence could you gather to support your hypothesis?
