Organic Chemistry Some Basic Principles And Techniques Ques 55
55. The stability of carbanions in the following :
(a) $RC \equiv \overline{C}$
(b)
(c) $R_2 C=C \overline{H}$
(d) $R_3 C-CH_2$
is in the order of:
[2008]
(a) (a) $>$ (b) $>$ (c) $>$ (d)
(b) (b) $>$ (c) $>$ (d) $>$ (a)
(c) (d) $>$ (b) $>$ (c) $>$ (a)
(d) >$ (d) >$ (c) >$ (b)
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: 55.(a)
Solution:
- (a) As ’ $s$ ’ character increases, stability of carbanion increases. Also, electron donating groups increases the stability of carbanion. Hence, the correct stability, order:
$\underset{+1}{R_3} \to C \underset{s p^{3}}{\stackrel{\ominus}{C}} H_2$
