QJEEM02Ch2fb8: JEE Main 2002 Chemistry - Class 11 JEEM02Ch2fb8 Solution: Arrangement of (CH 3 ) 3 C-, (CH 3 ) 2 CH-, CH 3 -CH 2 - when…

Arrangement of (CH3)3C-, (CH3)2CH-, CH3-CH2- when attached to benzyl or an unsaturated group in increasing order of inductive effect is

Multiple Choice Options

  • A (CH3)3C- < (CH3)2CH- < CH3-CH2
  • B CH3-CH2- < (CH3)2CH- < (CH3)3C-
  • C (CH3)2CH- < (CH3)3C- < CH3-CH2
  • D (CH3)3C- < CH3-CH2- < CH3)2CH-

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

−CH3 group has +I effect, as number of −CH3 group increases, the inductive effect increases.

Therefore the correct order is

CH3−CH2−<(CH3)2CH−<(CH3)3C−
