Question
Which of the following is the most stable alkene?
Correct Answer
Option A is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
Trans alkenes are generally more stable than cis alkenes due to less steric strain. trans-3-hexene is the most stable among the options because it is a trans internal alkene (disubstituted) with the bulky groups on opposite sides. 1-hexene is a terminal alkene and less substituted.
Hint
