Correct answer: C
-
Identify the transformation
We need to convert butene-1 to butane.
This conversion means the double bond must be hydrogenated.
-
Required reaction
Addition of hydrogen across a double bond is done by catalytic hydrogenation:
-
Check each option
A:
This is a reducing system, but it is generally used for reducing groups like nitro compounds, not for hydrogenation of an alkene double bond.
Not correct.B:
Zinc amalgam is used in Clemmensen reduction (usually with HCl) for reducing carbonyl groups, not alkenes.
Not correct.C:
Palladium with hydrogen is a standard catalyst for hydrogenation of alkenes to alkanes.
Correct.D:
This is also not used for converting alkenes to alkanes by hydrogenation.
Not correct. -
Final answer
The correct reagent is:
So, Option C is correct.
