The correct order of stability of following carbocations is:
Show Hint
- C $>$ B $>$ A $>$ D
- A $>$ B $>$ C $>$ D
- B $>$ C $>$ A $>$ D
- C $>$ A $>$ B $>$ D
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
B has resonance with two phenyl groups, making it less stable than A.
C, the benzyl cation, has resonance stabilization by the aromatic ring, while D, a tertiary butyl cation, lacks resonance stabilization.
