produced as the major product and when
treated with Na/liq. NH3 it produces Y as
the major product. Which of the following
statements is correct ?

  • Option 1)

    X will have higher dipole moment
    and higher boiling point than Y.

  • Option 2)

    Y will have higher dipole moment
    and higher boiling point than X.

  • Option 3)

    X will have lower dipole moment
    and lower boiling point than Y.

  • Option 4)

    Y will have higher dipole moment
    and lower boiling point than X.

As we learnt,

 

Birch Reduction -

Alkynes on reduction with sodium in liquid NH3 form trans alkene.

- wherein

 

 

Cis have higher dipole-moment than trans


Option 1)

X will have higher dipole moment
and higher boiling point than Y.

Option 2)

Y will have higher dipole moment
and higher boiling point than X.

Option 3)

X will have lower dipole moment
and lower boiling point than Y.

Option 4)

Y will have higher dipole moment
and lower boiling point than X.
