Concept explainers
When 1,2-dimethylcyclohexene is allowed to react with hydrogen in the presence of a platinum catalyst, the product of the reaction is a cycloalkane that has a melting point of –50 °C and a boiling point of 130 °C (at 760 torr).
(a) What is the structure of the produce of this reaction?
(b) Consult an appropriate resource (such as the web or a CRC handbook) and tell which stereoisomer it is.
(c) What does this experiment suggest about the mode of addition of hydrogen to the double bond?
