Concept explainers
Interpretation: The given compounds are to be ranked in increasing order of stability.
Concept introduction: Diene is a hydrocarbon that contains two
Conjugated diene consists of two double bonds that are separated by a single bond, whereas isolated diene also consists of two double bond but they are separated by two more carbon atoms.
The stability of diene depends upon the number of conjugated double bond. Conjugation involves overlapping of

- Which group in following pair is assigned the higher priority? −H, −Darrow_forwardCyclooctatetraene is a not planar because it disrupts conjugation and avoids anti-aromaticity. b planar because it ensures conjugation and allows anti-aromaticity. c not planar because it disrupts conjugation and avoids aromaticity. d planar because it ensures conjugation and allows aromaticity.arrow_forwardArrange the following alkenes in order of decreasing stabilityarrow_forward
- (a) What product(s) are formed when the E isomer of C6H5CH = CHC6H5 is treated with Br2, followed by one equivalent of KOH? Label the resulting alkene(s) as E or Z. (b) What product(s) are formed when the Z isomer of C6H5CH = CHC6H5 is subjected to the same reaction sequence? (c) How are the compounds in parts (a) and (b) related to each other?arrow_forwardConsider carbonyl compounds A– E attached below.
