How many different alkyne isomers upon hydrogenation in the presence o...
Solution:
Given: Hydrogenation of alkyne in the presence of CaCO3 / Pd gives 4-methyl hexene which is simultaneously cis/trans at double bond.
To find: Number of different alkyne isomers.
Step 1: Write the formula of 4-methyl hexene.
4-methyl hexene formula: CH3-CH2-CH=CH-CH2-CH3
Step 2: Draw the structural formula of 4-methyl hexene.

H CH3
Step 3: Identify the position of the double bond.
Double bond is present between 3rd and 4th carbon atoms.
Step 4: Identify the alkynes which can give 4-methyl hexene upon hydrogenation in the presence of CaCO3 / Pd.
There are 2 possible alkyne isomers which can give 4-methyl hexene upon hydrogenation in the presence of CaCO3 / Pd.
- 3-methyl-1-pentene - This alkyne can give 4-methyl hexene upon hydrogenation in the presence of CaCO3 / Pd. The double bond is present between 2nd and 3rd carbon atoms. On hydrogenation, the double bond is converted into a single bond and a methyl group is added to the 3rd carbon atom.
- 2-methyl-2-pentene - This alkyne can also give 4-methyl hexene upon hydrogenation in the presence of CaCO3 / Pd. The double bond is present between 2nd and 3rd carbon atoms. On hydrogenation, the double bond is converted into a single bond and a methyl group is added to the 4th carbon atom.
Both of these alkyne isomers give 4-methyl hexene which is simultaneously cis/trans at double bond.
Therefore, the correct answer is '2'.

Yes cis when both side left and right side double bond same thing same side
So ch3-c ///c-cch2ch3
where this /// denotes triple bond
here h h on same side on hydrogenation
ch3ch2ch2cch3///chch3
where /// is triple bond here ch 3 ch 3 on same side
it is not EZ configuration but cis trans Bhai
