Question
Write structures of all the alkenes which on hydrogenation give 2-methylbutane.
✓
Answer
The basic skeleton of 2-methylbutane is shown below:
$\stackrel{1}{\hbox{C}}-\stackrel{2}{\hbox{C}}-\stackrel{3}{\hbox{C}}-\stackrel{4}{\hbox{C}}\\\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ |\\\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{C}$
On the basis of this structure, various alkenes that will give 2-methylbutane on hydrogenation are:
