MCQ
The effect that makes $2,3-$ dimethyl $-2-$ butene more stable than $2-$ butene is
  • A
    Resonance
  • Hyperconjugation
  • C
    Steric effect
  • D
    Inductive effect

Answer

Correct option: B.
Hyperconjugation
b
Stability $\propto$ Hyperconjugation $\propto$ No. of $\alpha-H$

$\underset{\begin{smallmatrix} 
 12\,\alpha -Hydrogen \\ 
 More\,hyperconjugation 
\end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{\begin{matrix}
   \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\overset{\alpha }{\mathop{C}}\,{{H}_{3}}\overset{\,\alpha }{\mathop{\,C}}\,{{H}_{3}}  \\
   \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,|\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,|\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,  \\
   \overset{\alpha }{\mathop{C}}\,{{H}_{3}}-C=C-\underset{\alpha }{\mathop{C}}\,{{H}_{3}}  \\
\end{matrix}}}\,$ $\underset{\begin{smallmatrix} 
 6\,\alpha -Hydrogen \\ 
 Less\,Hyperconjugation 
\end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{\overset{\alpha }{\mathop{C}}\,{{H}_{3}}-CH=CH-\overset{\alpha }{\mathop{C}}\,{{H}_{3}}}}\,$
