Which of the following alkenes give 2,3-dimethylbutane on catalytic hydrogenation over Pd/C? Select all that apply.

  1. A2,3-dimethylbut-2-ene
  2. B2-methylpent-1-ene
  3. C2,3-dimethylbut-1-ene
  4. D3,3-dimethylbut-1-ene

Answer: A, C

2,3-Dimethylbutane is . Adding across the C=C of or gives it. 3,3-Dimethylbut-1-ene gives 2,2-dimethylbutane and 2-methylpent-1-ene gives 2-methylpentane, since hydrogenation does not change the carbon skeleton.
