Vedclass · Answer

(A) The hydrogenation of an alkyne using a poisoned palladium catalyst (Lindlar's catalyst) results in the formation of a $cis$-alkene. In the given molecule,there is a chiral center adjacent to the alkyne group. The hydrogenation process reduces the triple bond to a $cis$-double bond without affecting the existing chiral center. Since the starting material is a single enantiomer and the reaction does not involve the chiral center,the product remains a single enantiomer. Therefore,the resulting product is an optically active compound.

What is the product obtained upon hydrogenation of the following compound in the presence of a poisoned palladium catalyst?
