Hydrocarbons - Result Question 34

####36. Correct order of stability is :

(a) cis -2-butene > 1-butene > trans -2-butene

(b) trans-2-butene > cis-2-butene > 1-butene

(c) 1-butene > cis-2-butene > trans-2-butene

(d) cis-2-butene > trans-2-butene >1-butene

Show Answer

Solution:

  1. (b)CC=CC

Due to more hyper-conjugation in

(6αH atoms) than in 1-butene ( 2αH atoms ), the former is more stable.

In trans-2-butene, the two methyl groups are for apart. Hence, it is most stable.
