Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The addition of H₂ (which seems to be a typographical error and might refer to a hydrogen halide or similar compound) to 4,4-dimethyl-2-pentene in the presence of a metal catalyst would typically result in the addition of hydrogen and a halogen (or similar) across the double bond, not the conversion of the alkene to an alkane without changing the number of carbon atoms or adding other elements.
