Q72 / 200 · NEET 2024 · Chemistry

The most stable carbocation among the following is :

A
B
Correct answer
C
D

Solution

The stability of carbocation can be described by the hyperconjugation. Greater the extent of hyperconjugation, more is the stability of carbocation.

Stability order of carbocations $=(3)\gt(1)\gt(4)\gt(2)$

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
