Are phenyl carbocations more stable than tertiary carbocations? Is there a carbocation that is more stable than a tertiary carbocation? If yes, what is the reason why it is more stable
Because the SN1 reaction goes through a flat carbocation, we might expect an optically active starting material to give a completely racemized product. In most cases, however, SN1 reactions actually give more of the inversion product. In general, as the stability of the carbocation increases, the excess inversion product decreases. Extremely stable carbocations give completely racemic products. Explain these observations.
The triphenylmethyl cation is so stable that a salt such as triphenylmethyl chloride can be isolated and stored. Why is this carbocation so stable?
