The number of hyperconjugation structures involved to stabilize carbocation formed in the below reaction is _______
Show Hint
Hyperconjugation involves the delocalization of electrons from adjacent C-H or C-C bonds to stabilize carbocations.

Correct Answer: 7
Solution and Explanation
In the given reaction, the carbocation formed after the removal of \( H^+ \) can undergo several hyperconjugation structures. We see that the carbocation can shift, and the hyperconjugation structures involve the bonding electrons of the adjacent C-H bonds.
After shifting, the carbocation is stabilized by the hyperconjugation effect, and counting all the hyperconjugation structures (including the shift), there are 7 such structures.
Thus, the correct number of hyperconjugation structures is 7. Therefore, the correct answer is (2).

Top Questions on reaction mechanism
- Given below are two statements:
Statement I: The dipole moment of R–CN is greater than R–NC and R–NC can undergo hydrolysis under acidic medium to produce R–COOH.
Statement II: R–CN hydrolyses under acidic medium to produce a compound which on treatment with SOCl$_2$, followed by the addition of NH$_3$ gives another compound (X). This compound (X) on treatment with NaOCl/NaOH gives a product, that on treatment with CHCl$_3$/KOH/$\Delta$ produces R–NC.
