Which from following pairs of compound is an example of position isomerism?
Which from following pairs of compound is an example of position isomerism?
2 methylprop-1-ene and But-1-ene
But-2-ene and Cis-But-2-ene
But-2-ene and 2-methylprop-1-ene
But-1-ene and But-2-ene
Solution
$\mathrm{CH}_3-\underset{\text { 1-butene }}{\mathrm{CH}_3}-\mathrm{CH}=\mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{CH}_3-\underset{2 \text {-butene }}{\mathrm{CH}}=\mathrm{CH}-\mathrm{CH}_3$
Locant number will differ along same parent C-chain so it is position isomer.
