Important Questions on Organic Chemistry- Some Basic Principles and Techniques

The stability order of the above carbocations is

The correct order of stability of given carbocation is:

Assertion (A): Tertiary carbocations are more reactive than secondary and primary carbocations.
Reason (R): Hyper conjugation, as well as inductive effect due to additional alkyl groups stabilise tertiary carbocations.




Choose the correct statement regarding the formation of carbocations A and B given :-

Carbanions derived from aldehydes/ketones are called enolates, as they represent anions (conjugate bases) of the enol forms. Enol ethers can be prepared and are synthetically important. These anions react with an alkyl halide at the carbon or oxygen atom.
Trimethylsilylchloride reacts almost exclusively with enolates. One such reaction is shown below. where ketone is treated with LDA. followed by to obtain trimethylsilyl derivative of . The possible intermediate carbanions (and ) and the possible products ( to ) are shown. [LDA lithium diisopropylamide , is a strong base but a very poor nucleophile].
