Which one of the following compounds can exist as cis-trans isomers?

  1. A
    Pent-1-ene
  2. B
    2-Methylhex-2-ene
  3. C
    1,1-Dimethylcyclopropane
  4. D
    1,2-Dimethylcyclohexane

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

1. Pent-1-ene () has two identical H atoms on the terminal carbon, so no cis-trans isomerism.2. 2-Methylhex-2-ene () has two identical methyl groups on the same carbon atom of the double bond, so no cis-trans isomerism.3. 1,1-Dimethylcyclopropane has both methyl groups on the same carbon, so no cis-trans isomerism.4. 1,2-Dimethylcyclohexane can have the two methyl groups on the same side (cis) or opposite sides (trans) of the ring plane.
