1,3-Pentadiene and 1,4-pentadiene are compared with respect to their intrinsic stability and reaction with HI . The correct statement is
Options
- A1,3-pentadiene is more stable and more reactive than 1,4-pentadiene
- B1,3-pentadiene is less stable and less reactive than 1,4-pentadiene
- C1,3-pentadiene is more stable but less reactive than 1,4-pentadiene
- D1,3-pentadiene is less stable but more reactive than 1,4-pentadiene
Correct answer
A. 1,3-pentadiene is more stable and more reactive than 1,4-pentadiene
Step-by-step solution
As conjugated alkenes are more stable and more reactive due to effective resonance so 1,3-pentadiene is more stable and more reactive than 1,4-pentadiene
