Draw the structure of the major organic product isolated from the reaction of 3-hexyne with hydrogen (1 mol), Lindlar palladium.
1 answer:
Answer:
See explanation and image attached
Explanation:
When 1 mole of hydrogen is added to 3-hexyne, the addition occurs on the same face or side of the triple bond to yield cis-2-hexene in the presence of lindlar catalyst which prevents further hydrogenation. This is known as syn addition.
The syn addition is achieved because the hydrogen molecule is first adsorbed on the surface of the palladium metal and is subsequently attached to the same face of the triple bond in 3-hexyne as shown in the image attached to this answer.

Answer:
Structures are given below.
Explanation:
- Treatment of 2-bromo-2-methylbutane with KOH in ethanol will give elimination of HBr through E2 mechanism.
- H atoms adjacent to Br will be eliminated.
- 2-bromo-2-methylbutane has two possible adjacent H atoms that can be eliminated giving mixture of products.
- Product of this elimination reaction is alkene. Here saytzeff fule is followed during elimination. So most substituted alkene will be major product.
- Structure of alkenes are given below.
