Answer to Problem 77A
Butyne is the least stable.
Explanation of Solution
The compound with molecular formula
The structural formula of the compound when
behaves as an alkyne is represented as follows:
The above compound is known as buytne.
The structural formula of the compound when
behaves as an alkene having two double bonds is represented as follows:
The structural formula of the compound when
behaves as cycloalkene is represented as follows:
The above compound is known as cyclobutene.
Out of these compounds, butyne is the least stable.
Alkynes are least stable than other hydrocarbons. Therefore, Butyne is the less stable out of the three compounds.
