Question

The compound given below is chiral. What would be the outcome of catalytic hydrogenation of a pure enantiomer of their compound?

Moderate

A

A pair of enantiomers in equal amount would be produced
B

A pair of diastereomers in unequal amount would be produced
C

A pair of enantiomers in unequal amount would be produced
D

A pair of diastereomers in equal amount would be produced

Solution

Catalytic hydrogenation occurs with syn- orientation. In the present case hydrogenation would be slightly more favored from the side opposite to the methyl group at chiral carbon.
