Concept explainers
a)
Interpretation:
More stable carbocation has to be predicted.
Concept Introduction:
Stability of allylic and benzylic cations:
Allylic and benzylic cations have delocalized electrons and possess more stability than other similar carbocations with localized electrons.
The relative stabilities of carbocations are,
