But-2-yne and hydrogen (one mole each) are separately treated with (i)
and (ii)
to give the products X and Y respectively.

Identify the incorrect statements.
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsA
But-2-yne (
) undergoes partial hydrogenation.
Reaction with
(Lindlar-like conditions for 1 mole
) gives cis-but-2-ene as product
.
Reaction with
liq.
(Birch reduction) gives trans-but-2-ene as product
.
Statement A:
(cis) and
(trans) are geometrical isomers, hence stereoisomers. This is correct.
Statement B: Cis-but-2-ene (
) has a non-zero dipole moment (
) due to the additive nature of bond moments, while trans-but-2-ene (
) has zero dipole moment (
) due to symmetry. Thus, statement B is incorrect.
Statement C: Cis-isomers generally have higher boiling points than trans-isomers due to higher dipole-dipole interactions. So, B.P. of
. This is correct.
Statement D: Reductive ozonolysis (
) of both cis-but-2-ene and trans-but-2-ene yields the same product, ethanal (
). Thus, statement D is incorrect.
The incorrect statements are B and D.
