Most carbocations are too unstable to be isolated. + Most carbocations are too unstable to be isolated. When R is an alkyl group, the carbocation is stabilized compared to R = H. 7

Methyl cation least stable Carbocations C H + Methyl cation least stable 7

Ethyl cation (a primary carbocation) is more stable than CH3+ Carbocations H3C + H C H Ethyl cation (a primary carbocation) is more stable than CH3+ 7

Isopropyl cation (a secondary carbocation) is more stable than CH3CH2+ Carbocations H3C + CH3 C H Isopropyl cation (a secondary carbocation) is more stable than CH3CH2+ 7

Carbocations H3C + CH3 C CH3 tert-Butyl cation (a tertiary carbocation) is more stable than (CH3)2CH+ 7
