Question:
Consider the following compound (X):
The most stable and least stable carbon radicals, respectively, produced by homolytic cleavage of corresponding C - H bond are:
Consider the following compound (X):
The most stable and least stable carbon radicals, respectively, produced by homolytic cleavage of corresponding C - H bond are:
Show Hint
Radical stability increases with the number of alkyl groups attached to the carbon carrying the radical. The more alkyl groups, the more stable the radical.

- I, IV
- III, II
- II, IV
- I, III
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
The most stable carbon radical due to stabilization by adjacent alkyl groups is III, while the least stable radical is I as it lacks such stabilization.
