8. Using Zaitsev's rule, choose the most stable alkene among the following. Draw out the structures of each of the options then select the correct answer. Recall that Zaitsev's Rule is about alkene stability. The trend for this is similar to the trend for carbocation stability. Either more or fewer groups on the alkene (and the carbocation) make it more stable. This question is wanting you to remember if it's more or fewer. A) 1,2-dimethylcyclohexene B) 1,6-dimethylcyclohexene C) cis-3,4-dimethylcyclohexene D) They are all of equal stability according to Zaitsev's rule.
