Among the following the most stable compound is

A

cis-`1,2`-cyclohenediol

B

trans-`1,2`-cylcohexanediol

C

cis-`1,3`-cyclohenediol

D

trans-`1,3`-cyclohexanediol

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Trans configuration is more stable than cis configuration because in cis-configuration the `H` groups are thrown closely enough together to cause crowding or repulsion. Agrain between `1,2`and `1,3`-configurations, in `1-3`, the `OH` groups are placed further apart to minimise the repulsion. Hence, more stable is `1,3`-configuration.
