Vedclass · Answer

(D) The stability of an alkene is directly proportional to the number of $\alpha-H$ atoms attached to the double-bonded carbons (hyperconjugation).Let us analyze the number of $\alpha-H$ atoms for each structure:$A$: $3-	ext{methylpent-}1-	ext{ene}$ has $2$ $\alpha-H$ atoms.$B$: $2-	ext{ethylbut-}1-	ext{ene}$ has $4$ $\alpha-H$ atoms.$C$: $3-	ext{methylpent-}1-	ext{ene}$ has $2$ $\alpha-H$ atoms.$D$: $3-	ext{methylpent-}2-	ext{ene}$ has $5$ $\alpha-H$ atoms ($3$ from the methyl group and $2$ from the methylene group).Since structure $D$ has the highest number of $\alpha-H$ atoms $(5)$,it is the most stable alkene.

Which of the following alkenes is the most stable?
