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 a double bond in the molecule more stable is the carbocation
02

Order for Stability of carbocation

On the basis

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

Order of the stability of carbocation

Ethers can often be prepared by SN2 reaction of alkoxide ions,RO- ,with alkyl halides. Suppose you wanted to prepare cyclohexyl methylether. Which of the two possible routes shown below would youchoose? Explain.

Among the many examples of reactions that occur with incomplete racemization, the optically pure tosylate of 2,2-dimethyl-1-phenyl-1-propan([ฮฑ]D= 230.3) gives the corresponding acetate ([ฮฑ]D= 15.3) when heated inacetic acid. If complete inversion had occurred, the optically pure acetatewould have had[ฮฑ]D= 153.6. What percentage racemization and what percentageinversion occurred in this reaction?
