In the following carbocation, H//CH_(3) that is most likely to migrate

1.	In the following carbocation, H//CH_(3) that is most likely to migrate to the positively charged carbon is {:(""H""H),("\|""\|"),(H_(3)overset(1)(C)-.^(2)C-._(3)overset(+)C-C^(4)-overset(5)(C)H_(3)),("\|""\|""\|"),(""HO""H""CH_(3)):}
Answer» `CH_(3)` at C-4 H at C-4 `CH_(3)` at C-2 H at C-2 Solution :In the given carbocation, `H^(-)` migrates from C-2 to C-3 because (i) the +ve CHARGE GENERATED on C-2 in I is in CONJUGATION with the n-electrons of the O atom (ii) It is STABILIZED by +I EFFECT of `CH_(3)` group.
