Q. Butene-1 may be converted to butane by reaction with
A) $Zn - HCl$
B) $Sn - HCl$
C) $Zn - Hg$
D) $\frac{Pd}{H_{2}}$
Explanation
(d)
$CH_{2} = CH - CH_{2}CH_{3}$
Butene-1
$\underset{\mathrm{\Delta},\ pressure}{\overset{\ \ \ \ \ Pd/H_{2}\ \ \ \ \ }{\rightarrow}}CH_{3} - CH_{2} - CH_{2} - CH_{3}$
butane
Other reagents are successful with polar double bonds.
