Solutions for Conjugated Systems, Orbital Symmetry, and Ultraviolet Spectroscopy 4 Carbocation stability depends first on conjugation (benzylic, allylic), then on degree of carbon carrying the positive charge. 1° 2° 3° 1°2° 2° less significant contributor more significant contributor equivalent to the first resonance form H C H C CH3H2C C H3C C CH2 HH3C C H H H H H H H H H H H H C H2C C CH3 HH H3C C H C CH2H3C H C H H H HH C C H3C H H O CH2CH3 C C H3C H O CH2CH3 C H3C O H CH2CH3 H O CH2CH3 C H3C H C H3C H O H CH2CH3 C H3C H O CH3CH2 Br H O CH2CH3 H3C Br 5 ∆ allylic Two carbons are electron deficient so the nucleophile can attack either. The most basic species in the reaction mixture will remove this proton. The oxygen of ethanol is more basic than bromide ion. H O CH2CH3 340
