Ncert Exercises & Solutions

The correct order of decreasing stability of the following carbocations is:

I	\( \begin{aligned} &~~~~~~~~~~~~\oplus\\ & CH_3 - CH-CH_3 \end{aligned}\)
II	\( \begin{aligned} &~~~~~~~~~~~~\oplus\\ & CH_3 - CH-OCH_3\end{aligned}\)
III	\( \begin{aligned} & ~~~~~~~~~~~~\oplus\\ &CH_3 - CH-CH_2- OCH_3\end{aligned}\)

1.	II > I > III	2.	I > II > III
3.	II < I < III	4.	I < II < III
