Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Products and their relationship should be given for hydrogenation of the given isomer (R)-limonene.

Concept introduction:

• Hydrogenation: hydrogenation is an addition reaction. Addition of hydrogen molecule across the double bond in presence of transition metal catalyst is known as hydrogenation.
• Reagent: reagent is a compound or compound mixture that is used in the chemical transformation of the reactions.
• In hydrogenation process, used reagent is hydrogen molecule and platinum metal as a catalyst.
