The reduction of 2-Butyne with `H_2` in the presence of Pd/`BaSO_4 `- Quinoline and Na/liquid `NH_3` gives

A

trans-2 butene in both the cases

B

cis-2-butene in both the cases

C

cis-2-butene and trans 2- butene

D

Butane in both the cases

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
It is a selective reduction and stops at alkene stage. First one gives cis-2-butene, while the second one gives trans-2-butene.
