Which of the following alkenes does NOT exhibit cis-trans isomerism?
Options
- ABut-1-ene
- BBut-2-ene
- C3,4-Dimethylhex-3-ene
- DPent-2-ene
Correct answer
A. But-1-ene
Step-by-step solution
For any compound to exhibit cis-trans isomerism, it must contain identical atoms or groups of atoms on either side of double bond. Hence, but-1-ene CH ₃- CH ₂- CH = CH ₂ will not exhibit cis-trans isomerism.
