In which of the following compounds the carbon marked with asterisk is expected to have greatest positive charge?

Answer»

`""^(**)C H_3)-CH_(2)-Cl`
`""^(**)C H_(3)-CH_(2)-Mg^(+)Cl^(-)`
`""^(**)C H_(3)-CH_(2)-Br`
`""^(**)C H_(3)-CH_(2)-CH_(3)`

Solution :(A )Cl group attract the ELECTRONS of BOND toward it, due to its electron attracting inductive effect and MAKE theC of `CH_(3)` positive.

(B) In `""^(**)C H_(3)-CH_(2)-Mg^(+)Cl^(-)`, Mg is electropositive so, the repulsion of electron and positive charge of `""^(**)C" in " ""^(**)C H_(3)` is decreases

(C ) In `""^(**)C H_(3)-CH_(2)-Br` the STRENGTH of Br(-I) is less than Cl(-I) so, the carbon of `""^(**)C H_(3)CH_(2)Br` is become less positive

(D) Due to (+I) effect, the `-CH_(2)CH_(3)` group of `""^(**)C H_(3)-CH_(2)-CH_(3)` release the electron and increase the electron density of C in `""^(**)C H_(3)`

The electron density on carbon of `""^(**)C H_(3)` in `""^(**)C H_(3)-CH_(2)-Cl` is minimum and this carbon is MAXIMUM positive.
