Answer:
Explanation:
Given that ;
Compound H is optically active and have a molecular formula of C6H10 and therefore undergo catalytic hydrogenation. Catalytic hydrogenation involves the use Platinum/Nickel to produce C6H12
i.e
The proposed H and I structures are shown in the diagrams attached below .
compound H represents 3- methyl cyclopentene
compound I represents methyl cyclopentane
However; 3- methyl cyclopentene posses just only one chiral carbon which is optically active at the third position and it R and S enantiomers are shown in the second diagram below.
