Explain the relative stability of primary , secondary and tertiory alcohols? |
|
Answer» Among primary (1°), secondary (2°) and tertiary (3°) carbocations, 3° is most STABLE. ... In the carbocation, the alkyl group releases ELECTRONS to the positive carbon and thus reduces its charge and in turn itself becomes somewhat positive. GREATER the DISPERSAL of charge, greater will be the stability of carbocation. |
