IUPAC name of the some alkenes are given below. Find out the correct stability order.
A. 2-Methylbut-2-ene
B. cis-But-2-ene
C. 2,3-Dimethylbut-2-ene
D. Prop-1-ene
Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

Options

  1. AC > A > B > D
  2. BC > A > D > B
  3. CB > D > A > C
  4. DA > B > C > D

Correct answer

A. C > A > B > D

Step-by-step solution

The stability of alkenes is directly proportional to the number of α\alpha-hydrogen atoms due to hyperconjugation.

Let us count the number of α\alpha-hydrogen atoms in each given alkene:

A. 2-Methylbut-2-ene: (CH3)2C=CHCH3(CH_3)_2C=CHCH_3
Number of α\alpha-hydrogen atoms = 3+3+3=93 + 3 + 3 = 9

B. cis-But-2-ene: CH3CH=CHCH3CH_3CH=CHCH_3
Number of α\alpha-hydrogen atoms = 3+3=63 + 3 = 6

C. 2,3-Dimethylbut-2-ene: (CH3)2C=C(CH3)2(CH_3)_2C=C(CH_3)_2
Number of α\alpha-hydrogen atoms = 3+3+3+3=123 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 12

D. Prop-1-ene: CH3CH=CH2CH_3CH=CH_2
Number of α\alpha-hydrogen atoms = 33

Since the stability of an alkene increases with the number of α\alpha-hydrogen atoms, the correct stability order is C > A > B > D.

Answer: C > A > B > D
