QUESTION #1018
Question 1
The most stable carbocation from the following is:
Correct Answer Explanation
Carbocation stability increases with electron-donating groups at ortho/para positions via resonance. A \(-\text{OMe}\) group at the para position donates electrons by resonance directly into the carbocation centre, making it the most stable. Meta substitution cannot relay resonance to the positive charge.
