Question
Chapter 6, Problem 6.49P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: The differences for stability of two given carbocations that is
Concept introduction:
Carbocation: The carbon ion that bears a positive charge on it.
Carbocation stability order:
The general carbocation stability order is as follows,
Resonance stabilization: Due to the delocalization of electrons within the molecule the overall energy becomes lower and makes that molecule more stable.

The 2-propenyl cation appears to be a primary carbocation, and yet it is considerably
more stable than a 1° carbocation such as the 1-propyl cation.
CH,=CH-CH,
CH, CH, CH,"
2-Propenyl cation
1-Propyl cation
How would you account for the differences in the stability of the two carbocations?
Elimination of HBr from 2-bromobutane affords a mixture of 1-butene and 2-butene. With sodium ethoxide as base, 2-butene
constitutes 81% of the alkene products, but with potassium tert-butoxide, 2-butene constitutes only 67% of the alkene
products. Offer an explanation for this difference.
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

When cyclopentene is allowed to react with bromine in an aqueous solution of sodium chloride, the products of the reaction are trans-1,2-dibromocyclopentane, trans-1-bromo-2-chlorocyclopentane, and trans-2-bromo-1-cyclopentanol.

The reaction occurs with Markovnikov regiochemistry, so the OH group adds to the more highly substituted carbon and the H adds to the less highly substituted carbon. The initial product of the reaction is a vinyl alcohol, also called an enol. The enol immediately rearranges to a more stable ketone via tautomerization.
