Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation: The migrating carbon atom and curved arrow for migration are interpreted for the given carbocation rearrangement.
Concept introduction: The chemical transformation can be shown by the arrow pushing method in which the curved arrows show the movement of electrons or protons. A carbocation is one of the intermediates that can rearrange to form a more stable carbocation. The stability order of carbocation is:
Tertiary > Secondary > Primary
(b)
Interpretation: The more stability of carbocation (2) compared to (1) is interpreted for the given carbocation rearrangement.
