Reaction of (3E,5Z)-3-methylhepta-3,5-dien-1-yne with H₂and Pd/C will produce which of the compounds below? A) 1-sec-butylbutane B) 2-butylbutane2 C) 3-methylheptane D) 3-methyl-1-heptyne E) (3E,5Z)-3-methyl-1,3,5-heptatriene

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The reaction involves the use of a reducing agent (HS$_{2}$BU$_{3}$) and a catalyst (Pd/C) which typically reduce alkynes and alkenes to alkanes. Therefore, the (3E,5Z)-3-methylhepta-3,5-dien-1-yne would be fully hydrogenated to 3-methylheptane.
