What product is formed when cis-2,3,3-trimethylhepta-1,5-diene is reacted with Pd/C and H₂?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The reaction described involves the use of Pd/C (palladium on carbon) and a hydrogen source (HS), which suggests a hydrogenation reaction. However, the specific hydrogen source "H₂" appears to be a typographical error or a non-standard notation, making it difficult to predict the exact product without more context. Given the standard behavior of Pd/C in hydrogenation reactions, it would typically add hydrogen across the double bonds of cis-2,3,3-trimethylhepta-1,5-diene, but none of the provided choices accurately represent the expected product of a complete hydrogenation, which would be a fully saturated hydrocarbon. Therefore, without a correct option listed, the answer is "E) None of these choices."
