Question

Choose the correct statement for the given carbocations:

• A. I has 8 $\alpha$-hydrogens and II has 5 $\alpha$-hydrogens
• B. I has 11 $\alpha$-hydrogens and II has 10 $\alpha$-hydrogens
• C. Structure I has 8 $\alpha$-hydrogens and structure II has 10 $\alpha$-hydrogens
• D. I has 2 $\alpha$-hydrogens and II has 0 $\alpha$-hydrogens

Answer 1

The correct option is A I has 8 $\alpha$-hydrogens and II has 5 $\alpha$-hydrogens


Structure I has 8 $\alpha$-hydrogens and structure II has 5 $\alpha$-hydrogens
