Which of the following carbanions is the most stable?
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is D
The stability of carbanion depends upon the nature of group at the para position. An electron-withdrawing group will make the carbanion most stable whereas an electron-donating group will make the carbanion the least stable.
In the options, all the para substituents are electron-donating in nature. All the groups attached here show +M effect, but CH3 group shows the least +M effect as compared to other groups attached here.
Therefore, option (d) structure has the most stable carbanion.
