Rank the following four isomeric hydrocarbons in order of increasing stability: - cis-1,4-Dimethylcyclohexane - 1-Cyclopropylpentane - Ethylcyclohexane - cis-1-Ethyl-2-propylcyclopropane

cis-1-Ethyl-2-propylcyclopropane <1-Cyclopropylpentane <cis-1,4-Dimethylcyclohexane <Ethylcyclohexane

Explanation:

The least is the number of additives especially at the position 1,4 of the cyclohexane, the more is the stability.

Hence, the correct order of increasing stability is

cis-1-Ethyl-2-propylcyclopropane <1-Cyclopropylpentane <cis-1,4-Dimethylcyclohexane <Ethylcyclohexane
