Question:

Which of the following statement is true?

Show Hint

Pd/C facilitates the hydrogenation of alkynes to form cis-alkenes due to its syn-addition mechanism.

  • Dehydration of alcohol takes place in presence of HCl/ZnCl\(_2\).
  • Formation of ethene from ethyl iodide occurs on heating with aqueous KOH.
  • Hydrogenation of an unsymmetrical alkyne in presence of Pd/C gives cis-alkene.
  • Hydrogenation of an unsymmetrical alkyne in presence of Na/liqu. NH\(_3\) gives cis-alkene.
  • The order of reactivity of hydrogen halides towards alkenes is HI<HBr<HCl.

The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

In the presence of palladium on carbon (Pd/C), hydrogenation of an unsymmetrical alkyne leads to the formation of the cis-alkene via a syn-addition mechanism.
