Does rearrangement of carbocation take place in Lucas test?
Yes, the organization of carbocation does take place in a Lucas test. Tertiary carbocations are the most stable; while primary carbocations are the most reactive.
Which is the most stable carbocation?
Allyl Carbocation.
What is Methyl carbocation isoelectronic with?
Methyl carbocation (CH3+) is isoelectronic with borane (BH3).
Why tertiary carbocation is more stable?
due to hypercongugation
Stereochemistry of hydration in carbon carbon double bond?
none because it creates a carbocation
Does rearrangement of carbocation take place in Lucas test?
Yes, the organization of carbocation does take place in a Lucas test. Tertiary carbocations are the most stable; while primary carbocations are the most reactive.
Which is the most stable carbocation?
Allyl Carbocation.
Is CO2 a carbocation?
It is a QUATERNARY carbocation, but very unreactive towards nucleophilic attacks.
What is Methyl carbocation isoelectronic with?
Methyl carbocation (CH3+) is isoelectronic with borane (BH3).
When is a carbocation formed?
A carbocation is formed when a alkane or a alkyl group containing molecule undergoes through a SN1 reaction.
Why tertiary carbocation is more stable?
due to hypercongugation
Are electron donating groups increase carbocation stability?
yes. it will
What is an alkanium ion?
An alkanium ion is a carbocation obained by hydrogenation of an alkane.
Why Benzyl carbocation more stable than phenylethyl carbocation?
Stabilization of a carbocation can also be accomplished by reasonance. If the cationic carbon is adjacent to an unsaturated system, the positive charge can be delocalized over adjacent atoms resulting in greater stability of the carbocation. Thus, the carbocations showing resonance are far more stable than those in which the resonance is not flesible.
Stereochemistry of hydration in carbon carbon double bond?
none because it creates a carbocation
Do rearrangements occur in E1 reactions?
carbocation is formed as an intermediate so rearrangement is possible
Is it possible for all reactions which have a carbocation intermediate to undergo rearrangement reaction to get a more stable cation?
No, in general
