When \(2-\) butyne is treated with \(H_2/\) Lindlar's catalyst, compound \(X\) is produced as the major product and when treated with \(Na/liq.\) \(NH_3\) it produces \(Y\) as the major product. Which of the following statements is correct?

  1. A \(Y\) will have higher dipole moment and higher boiling point than \(X\)
  2. B \(Y\) will have higher dipole moment and lower boiling point than \(X\)
  3. C \(X\) will have lower dipole moment and lower boiling point than \(Y\)
  4. D \(X\) will have higher dipole moment and higher boiling point than \(Y\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(X\) will have higher dipole moment and higher boiling point than \(Y\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

When \(2-\) butyne is treated with \(H_2/\) Lindlar's catalyst, compound \(X\) (cis \(-2-\) butene) is produced as the major product; and when treated with \(Na/liq\,NH_3\) it produces \(Y\) (trans \(-2-\) butene) as the major product. Cisisomer \((X)\) will have higher dipole…
