Question

what is the relationship between the s-cis and s-trans forms of 1,3-butadiene? multiple choice constitutional isomers different conformations of the same compound diastereomers resonance forms

Answer 1

Answer: The s-cis conformer of 1,3-butadiene is less stable than the s-trans conformer as in the s-cis conformer both the CH2 C H 2 groups are facing in the same direction resulting in a sterically crowded structure that leads to repulsion between the hydrogen atoms attached to C1 and C4
