Hyperconjugation is most useful for stabilizing which of the following carbocations?A. neo-PnetylB. tert-BuylC. iso-PropylD. Ethyl

Answer» Correct Answer - B
The stability of various alkyl carbocations on the basis of hyperconjugation is `3^(@)gt2^(@)gt1^(@)gt` methyl. In the tert-butyl cation, the cation bearing the positive charge is attached to three. methyl groups, hence it will give nine. hyperconjugative structures, thus imparting maximum stability.
