Question
Chapter 8, Problem 26P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The reason due to which compound A undergoes catalytic hydrogenation happens much faster than does compound B, is to be explained.
Concept introduction:
On catalytic hydrogenation,
In hydrogenation reaction, one hydrogen atom gets attached to each of the double bonded carbon atoms.
To accelerate the rate of hydrogenation, the metal catalyst provides an alternative pathway involving low activation energy steps.
The alkene is less hindered and better able to contact the catalyst surface gives a major product.
