Question

Which one of the following alkenes will react fastest with H2 under catalytic hydrogenation condition ?

Options

A.
B.
C.
D.

Solution

The rate of hysrogenation of double bond at form. temperature is in the order
R - CH = CH2 > R - CH = CH - R or a ring double bond.
Alkenes of type R2C = CR2 or R2CH = CHR is hydrogenated with difficulty .Thus reactivity order is :
(a) RCH = CH2      (b) R2C = CH2
             (1)                             (2)
(c) R2C = CHR       (d) R2C = CR2
             (3)                             (4)
