Each carbocation is capable of rearranging to a more stable carbocation. Limiting yourself to a single 1,2 shift, suggest a structure for the rearranged carbocation. (HINT: Think about resonance structures for c and d.)
Adi S.
Determine if each of the following carbocations will undergo rearrangement to form a more stable carbocation. If the carbocation will rearrange, indicate which type of shift will produce the more stable carbocation. Draw the carbocation formed as a result of your shift.
Madhur L.
Use the principles of resonance theory to explain why carbocation $\textbf{A}$ is more stable than carbocation $\textbf{B}$.
