How many diffenrent alkenes can be hydrogenated to form `2`-methylbutane. |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - 3 Alkenes must have the same skeletal arrangement as the alkanes as hydrogenation only converts the double bond into single bonds: `C-underset(C )underset(|)C-C-C` There are three different positions for the double bond, hence the three different alkenes: `CH_(3)underset(CH_(3))underset(|)(CH)CH=CH_(2)CH_(3)underset(CH_(3))underset(|)C=C CH_(3) CH_(2)=underset(CH_(3))underset(|)C-CH_(2)CH_(3)` |
