H H (e) H H H H H 1-Pentene cis-2-Pentene trans-2-Pentene (f) Order of stability: trans-2-pentene > cis-2-pentene >1-pentene 7.4 (a) 2,3-Dimethyl-2-butene would be the more stable because the double bond is tetra- substituted. 2-Methyl-2-pentene has a trisubstituted double bond. (b) trans-3-Hexene would be the more stable because alkenes with trans double bonds are more stable than those with cis double bonds. (c) cis-3-Hexene would be more stable because its double bond is disubstituted. The double bond of 1-hexene is monosubstituted. (d) 2-Methyl-2-pentene would be the more stable because its double bond is trisubstituted. The double bond of trans-2-hexene is disubstituted. 7.5 The location of IR absorptions between 600 cm−1 and 1000 cm−1 due to out-of-plane bending of alkene C—H bonds can be the basis of differentiation. (a) 2-Methyl-2-pentene, ∼800 cm−1 2,3-Dimethyl-2-butene, no alkene C—H bonds (b) cis-3-Hexene, 650–750 cm−1 trans-3-Hexene, ∼960 cm−1 (c) 1-Hexene, ∼900 cm−1 and ∼1000 cm−1 cis-3-Hexene, 650–750 cm−1 (d) trans-2-Hexene, ∼960 cm−1 2-Methyl-2-pentene, ∼800 cm−1 7.6 Br NaOEt most EtOH, 55°C less least CONFIRMING PAGES P1: PBU/OVY P2: PBU/OVY QC: PBU/OVY T1: PBU Printer: Bind Rite JWCL234-07 JWCL234-Solomons-v1 December 8, 2009 21:37 108 ALKENES AND ALKYNES I: PROPERTIES AND SYNTHESIS Br OK + 7.7 (a) OH heat (trisubstituted, (monosubstituted, more stable) less stable) Major product Minor product Br OK (b) + OH heat (tetrasubstituted, (disubstituted, more stable) less stable) Major product Minor product 7.8 t-BuOK in t-BuOH 7.9 An anti coplanar transition state allows the molecule to assume the more stable staggered conformation, H H H H H Br whereas a syn coplanar transition state requires the molecule to assume the less stable eclipsed conformation.

The reaction, consequently, is very slow. 7.11 (a) Anti coplanar elimination can occur in two ways with the cis isomer.

In the absence of an acid, the leaving group would have to be the strongly basic OH− ion, and such steps almost never occur.
