The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Only compound 1-phenyl-2-butene can show geometrical isomerism.

(a) 3-phenyl-1-butene


undefined
undefined



(No geometrical isomerism)

(b) 2-phenyl-1-butene





(No geometrical isomerism)

(c) 1,1, diphenyl-1-propene





(No geometrical isomerism)

(d) 1-phenyl-2-butene :

$C \overset{4}{H}_{3}-H\overset{3}{C}= \overset{1}{C}H-C\overset{1}{H_{2}}-ph$

The correct possible answer is (d) but due printing mistake. No answer is correct.

SN1 Reaction Mechanism:

SN1 reaction mechanism takes place by following three steps –

  • Formation of carbocation 
  • Attack of nucleophile 
  • Deprotonation 

SN2 Reaction Mechanism:

The SN2 reaction mechanism involves the nucleophilic substitution reaction of the leaving group (which generally consists of halide groups or other electron-withdrawing groups) with a nucleophile in a given organic compound.

Electrophilic Aromatic Substitution Reaction Mechanism:

The mechanism of an electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction contains three main components which are:

  1. A new sigma bond from C=C is formed during the reaction in the arene nucleophile.
  2. Due to the breaking of the C-H sigma bond, a proton is removed.
  3. The C=C bond is reformed and it restores the aromaticity of the compound.

Electrophilic Substitution Reaction Mechanism:

The electrophilic substitution reaction mechanism is composed of three steps, which will be discussed more below.

  • Electrophile Generation
  • Carbocation Formation
  • Proton Removal
