Question

are Benzylic carbons, allylilic carbons, or vinyl carbons involved in the order of carbocation stability?

Answer 1

The prototypical members of this class are the allylic and the benzylic carbocations. It is important to note that the positive charge does not really "move"; it is simply "delocalized" over the entire system.

Answer 2

But if your looking at carbon stability then it would be Benzylic carbons

Answer 3

Vinyl & Allyl have to do with Carbonium Ions

Answer 4

it kinda helps but from what i understand .. it usually says 1degree< 2degree< 3degree when it comes to where the positive charge lies on the structure..... im wondering are the vinyll carbons allyl carbons and benzylic carbons a part of that order??

Answer 5

carbon stability has to do with only benzylic carbons, Vinyl & Allyl have to do with Carbonium Ions, so no they don't only benzylic carbons do.

Answer 6

so if thts the case r u saying that it would be 1degree< 2 degree< 3 degee< benzylic carbons

Answer 7

yes precisely, because Vinyl & Allyl have to do with Carbonium Ions,not Carbon Stability.

Answer 8

can u draw the structure of all carbocation :)
