  2. Carbocation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbocation

    A carbocation is an ion with a positively charged carbon atom. Among the simplest examples are the methenium CH + 3, methanium CH + 5, acylium ions RCO +, and vinyl C ...

  3. Markovnikov's rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markovnikov's_rule

    The chemical basis for Markovnikov's Rule is the formation of the most stable carbocation during the addition process. The addition of the hydrogen ion to one carbon atom in the alkene creates a positive charge on the other carbon, forming a carbocation intermediate.

  4. Carbonium ion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbonium_ion

    The 2-Norbornyl cation is one of the best characterized carbonium ion. It is the prototype for non-classical ions. As indicated first by low-temperature NMR spectroscopy and confirmed by X-ray crystallography, [1] it has a symmetric structure with an RCH 2 + group bonded to an alkene group, stabilized by a bicyclic structure.

  5. 2-Norbornyl cation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2-Norbornyl_cation

    Other studies on the stability of the 2-norbornyl cation have shown that the alkyl substitutions at carbon 1 or 2 force the system to be decidedly classical. Tertiary carbocations are much more stable than their secondary counterparts and therefore do not need to adopt delocalized bonding in order to reach the lowest possible potential energy.

  6. Carbanion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbanion

    In organic chemistry, a carbanion is an anion in which carbon is negatively charged. [1] [failed verification]Formally, a carbanion is the conjugate base of a carbon acid: . R 3 CH + B − → R 3 C − + HB

  7. SN1 reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SN1_reaction

    Formation of a tert-butyl carbocation by separation of a leaving group (a bromide anion) from the carbon atom: this step is slow. [5] Recombination of carbocation with nucleophile. Nucleophilic attack: the carbocation reacts with the nucleophile. If the nucleophile is a neutral molecule (i.e. a solvent) a third step is required to complete the ...

  8. Hydrohalogenation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrohalogenation

    This is due to the abstraction of a hydrogen atom by the alkene from the hydrogen halide (HX) to form the most stable carbocation (relative stability: 3°>2°>1°>methyl), as well as generating a halogen anion. A simple example of a hydrochlorination is that of indene with hydrogen chloride gas (no solvent): [4]

  9. Benzyl group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benzyl_group

    For example, (C 6 H 5)(CH 3) 2 C + is referred to as a "benzylic" carbocation. The benzyl free radical has the formula C 6 H 5 CH 2 •. The benzyl cation or phenylcarbenium ion is the carbocation with formula C 6 H 5 CH + 2; the benzyl anion or phenylmethanide ion is the carbanion with the formula C 6 H 5 CH − 2.
