Identify the major product that is obtained when 2-hexyne is treated with H2 and Lindlar's catalyst.
1 answer:
Answer:
<em>cis</em>-2-hexene
Explanation:
Hello.
In this case, since a Lindlar's catalyst is mainly composed by palladium, which is a transition metal with a very exceptional surface area which makes it a suitable catalyst for hydrogenation reactions by which hydrogen is added to the insaturation in order to make a double bond where the triple bonds was in an alkyne, based on the attached picture we can see that the major product of that reaction is <em>cis</em>-2-hexene.
Best regards!
