The most stable carbocation from the following is:
A
B
C
D
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
A p-OMe group donates strongly by resonance (+M), stabilizing the benzylic cation via conjugation with the ring. m -OMe cannot donate by resonance to the benzylic site, and p-Me stabilizes only weakly by hyperconjugation; unsubstituted is least stabilized.
