The correct stability order of carbocations is

Solution & Explanation

### Core Logic The stability of alkyl carbocations is primarily determined by the +I (inductive) effect of alkyl groups and hyperconjugation. 1. (mathrmCH_3)_3mathrmC^+ (tert-butyl carbocation) has 9 alpha-hydrogens, leading to 9 hyperconjugative structures. It is the most stable. 2. (mathrmCH_3)_2mathrmCH^+ (isopropyl carbocation) has 6 alpha-hydrogens. 3. mathrmCH_3-mathrmCH_2^+ (ethyl carbocation) has 3 alpha-hydrogens. 4. mathrmCH_3^+ (methyl carbocation) has 0 alpha-hydrogens and is the least stable. The greater the number of hyperconjugable hydrogens (alpha-hydrogens), the more stable the carbocation. ### Pattern Recognition Stability of alkyl carbocations: 3^circ > 2^circ > 1^circ > textmethyl due to hyperconjugation (+H) and inductive (+I) effects. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Chemistry: Organic Chemistry Some Basic Principles and Techniques

Q74 jee_main_2024_27_jan_morning Classification of Organic Compounds
Cyclohexene is textquadquad type of an organic compound.
  • A. Benzenoid aromatic
  • B. Benzenoid non-aromatic
  • C. Acyclic
  • D. Alicyclic

Solution

### Core Logic Cyclohexene features an aliphatic carbon ring framework containing an unsaturated double bond but lacks an aromatic sextet ring structure. It belongs to the alicyclic category (aliphatic + cyclic compounds).

  • A. 1-Ethyl-5, 5-dimethylcyclohexane
  • B. 3-Ethyl-1,1-dimethylcyclohexane
  • C. 1-Ethyl-3, 3-dimethylcyclohexane
  • D. 1,1-Dimethyl-3-ethylcyclohexane

Solution

### Core Logic Number the ring to give substituents the lowest possible locants. Setting locant 1 at the carbon carrying the two methyl groups provides a locant list of (1,1,3), whereas setting it at the ethyl-bearing carbon gives (1,3,3). The set (1,1,3) wins by the lowest locant rule. Then arrange alphabetically: 3-ethyl precedes 1,1-dimethyl. Hence, the correct systematic tag is 3-Ethyl-1,1-dimethylcyclohexane.

Q85 jee_main_2024_27_jan_morning Stereoisomerism
3-Methylhex-2-ene on reaction with textHBr in presence of peroxide forms an addition product (A). The number of possible stereoisomers for 'A' is textquadquad.
Numerical Answer. Answer: 4 to 4

Solution

### Core Logic In the presence of peroxide, textHBr undergoes an anti-Markovnikov free-radical addition mechanism across the alkene bond of 3-methylhex-2-ene. Bromine appends to carbon-2 while hydrogen attaches at carbon-3. The generated dynamic addition product (A) corresponds structurally to 2-bromo-3-methylhexane.

### Step 1: Check chiral centers count Inspecting the structure of 2-bromo-3-methylhexane reveals two asymmetric chiral centers: - Carbon-2 carrying text-H, -CH_3text, -Br, and -CH(CH_3text)CH_2textCH_2textCH_3 - Carbon-3 carrying text-H, -CH_3text, -CH(Br)CH_3text, and -CH_2textCH_2textCH_3 Since both stereocenters are unsymmetrical (n=2): textTotal Stereoisomers = 2^n = 2^2 = 4 ### Pattern Recognition Anti-Markovnikov hydrobromination often generates multiple stereocenters.

Structures mapping A, B, C, D molecular properties for Q86 - JEE Main 2024 Morning
Four distinctive hydrocarbon ring structures depicted as options A, B, C, D.
Numerical Answer. Answer: 3 to 3

Solution

### Core Logic To satisfy Huckel's rules for aromaticity, a system must be planar, cyclic, completely conjugated, and possess (4n+2)pi delocalized electrons. Evaluating structures B, C, and D against these criteria shows they follow the (4n+2)pi electron counting rules successfully. Thus, three structures are fully aromatic. ### Pattern Recognition Verify ring conjugation continuity and apply Huckel's electron count constraints (2, 6, 10, 14dots). ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Chemistry: Organic Chemistry - Some Basic Principles and Techniques Class 11 Chemistry: Hydrocarbons
Q87 jee_main_2024_27_jan_morning Electrophilic Aromatic Substitution
Among the following, total number of meta directing functional groups is (Integer based): -textOCH_3, -textNO_2, -textCN, -textCH_3, -textNHCOCH_3, -textCOR, -textOH, -textCOOH, -textCl
Numerical Answer. Answer: 4 to 4

Solution

### Core Logic Meta-directing functional groups are electron-withdrawing groups via resonance or induction effects (-M or -I). Let's audit the list: - -textOCH_3 rightarrow textortho/para (+M) - -textNO_2 rightarrow textmeta (-M, -I) - -textCN rightarrow textmeta (-M, -I) - -textCH_3 rightarrow textortho/para (+I, hyperconjugation) - -textNHCOCH_3 rightarrow textortho/para (+M) - -textCOR rightarrow textmeta (-M, -I) - -textOH rightarrow textortho/para (+M) - -textCOOH rightarrow textmeta (-M, -I) - -textCl rightarrow textortho/para (+M counteracted by strong -I) The meta-directing groups are -textNO_2, -textCN, -textCOR, and -textCOOH. ### Pattern Recognition Groups whose attachment atom carries a double or triple bond to an electronegative element typically function as meta-directors. ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Chemistry: Organic Chemistry - Some Basic Principles and Techniques Class 12 Chemistry: Haloalkanes and Haloarenes
