On hydrogenation with platinum,a compound C₉H₁₂ absorbs 2 mol of hydrogen.Which of the following is a possible structure for the compound? A)I B)II C)III D)IV

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Structure D has two C-C double bonds which can be hydrogenated to form two C-C single bonds, resulting in the absorption of 2 mol of hydrogen. The other structures either have no C-C double bonds, or have only one double bond which would only absorb 1 mol of hydrogen. Therefore, D is the only possible structure for the compound that absorbs 2 mol of hydrogen during platinum catalyzed hydrogenation.
