Dehydration of Alcohols

Explain why ...

Question

Explain why $({C H}_{3})_{3} + C$ is more stable than ${C H}_{3} + C H_{2}$ and $+ C H_{3}$ is the least stable cation.

Open in App

Solution

$(C H_{3})_{3} + C$ is a highly stable $C H_{3} + C H_{2}$ $+ C H_{3}$ because of 9 hyper conjugative hydrogens and positive inductive effect of 3-methyl groups.
