This chapter continues to study allylic carbocations, specifically, benzylic carbocations. Because the positive charge can be delocalized to multiple sites, they are highly stabilized as allylic carbocations. However, they are not sufficiently stabilized to be classified as aromatic carbocations. Considering delocalization of charge, rank the following benzylic carbocations from most stable to least stable? -CH3 CI 1. II. H3C III. H3C -CH3 -CH=CH2 IV. H3C V. A. I> II > III > IV > V B. V> IV> III > II > I C. IV > V> II > III > I D. V> II > IV> III > I E. I> III > II > V > IV F. IV> V> II >I> III

Rearrangements can occur during the dehydration of 1° alcohols eventhough no 1° carbocation is formed—that is, a 1,2-shift occurs as the C—OH2+ bond is broken, forming a more stable 2° or 3° carbocation, asshown in Equation [1]. Using this information, draw a stepwisemechanism for the reaction shown in Equation [2]. We will see anotherexample of this type of rearrangement

Based on the more stable conformation (conformation A), need help providing two mechanisms for the E2 elimination of the protonated version of cis-1 using a general base (B:) to give alkenes 2 and 3. Clearly show which hydrogens meet the stereochemical requirements for E2-elimination Using Zaitsev’s rule, indicate which is favoured. Pictured is also a reaction mechanism to show what the alkenes 2 and 3 are. Thank you :)
