Q.31
Question
Rank the following alkenes in order of increasing stability:
Step-by-Step Solution
Verified Answer
The stability of the alkenes are mentioned below:
1Identification of the double-bonded carbons
The double bonds are identified first.
Representation of the double bond
2Classification based on substitution
Structure A is disubstituted. It is monosubstituted for B and trisubstituted for C.
Representation of the alkyl substituents
3Stability based on the number of substitutions present
More the count of substitutions, more will be the alkene stability because, with the increase of substitution, +I effect of the alkyl groups increase the stability of the system.
So the mentioned alkenes are ranked in the following:
