Which one of the following alkenes will react faster with H2 under catalytic hydrogenation conditions ?
- A

- B

- C

- D

View written solutionFree
Correct answer: A
Greater the number of alkyl groups(R) attached to the double bonded carbon atoms more stable is the alkene. Further the relative rates of hydrogenation decrease with increase of steric hindrance.
Thus, the stability of alkene will be

Hence alkene which will react faster with H2 is that which is most unstable.
