Question

Both s-cis and s-trans conformers of 1,3-butadiene have a continuous conjugated $\pi$ system. Which of the following statements is true about the s-cis conformer? The equilibrium favors the s-cis conformer. The s-cis conformer is lower in energy than the s-trans conformer. The s-cis conformer has equal energy as the s-trans conformer. The s-cis conformer is higher in energy than the s-trans conformer. The s-cis conformer cannot be converted into the s-trans conformer.

Step 1

This steric hindrance increases the energy of the s-cis conformer compared to the s-trans conformer. Therefore, the s-cis conformer is higher in energy than the s-trans conformer. The equilibrium favors the lower energy conformer, which is the s-trans conformer. Show more…
