Hyperconjugation Structures for Major Carbocation

The tertiary carbocation formed after reaction with HBr is stabilized by hyperconjugation from the six hydrogens directly attached to carbons adjacent to the carbocation center.

Number of hyperconjugation structures = 6

Reasoning

  • Identify α-hydrogens on methyl and ring carbons adjacent to the cation
  • Total α-hydrogens = 6
  • Thus, 6 hyperconjugation (no-bond resonance) structures are possible
