Complete each hydrogenation reaction. a.

Video transcript

Hello, everyone. Today, we have the following problem, rather completed synthesis by determining the plausible product of the following hydrogenation reaction. So here we have an alkene reacting with molecular hydrogen and a catalyst known as Lindler catalyst. And this is essentially a reaction where we add this hydrogen, this molecular hydrogen in sin fashion across that alkene using a metal catalyst such as palladium attached to carbon. And so what occurs is as stated before we have this syn addition. So the hydrogen adds to the both hydrogens add across the alkene on the same side which reduces the alkene into the following alkane. And with that, we have solved the problem overall, I hope has helped. And until next time.
