1-butene or 2-butene
??
-
more highly alkylated alkenes are more stable
-
2-butene has two isomers of different stabilities
-
trans more stable than cis due to reduced steric interactions when R groups are on opposite sides of the double bond
-
2-butene, whether it be cis or trans, is more stable than 1-butene.
