Given below are two statements:
Statement I: Number of alpha hydrogens in 2,2,5,5-tetramethylhex-3-ene is zero.
Statement II: Trifluoroacetic acid is more acidic than Chloroacetic acid.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsC
• In 2,2,5,5-tetramethylhex-3-ene, the carbons 
to the 
(allylic carbons at C2 and C5) are quaternary 
, so they bear no hydrogens 
. (Allylic 
carbon adjacent to 
.)
• 
is stronger than 
because 
exerts a much stronger 
effect; the acidity order with 
substituent highest (e.g., 
).
