Give the structure of an optically active alkene `(A)` having the lowest molecular mass, which on catalytic hydrogenation gives an optically inactive compound `(B)`.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the question, we need to identify an optically active alkene (A) with the lowest molecular mass that, upon catalytic hydrogenation, yields an optically inactive compound (B). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Optical Activity**: An optically active compound must have a chiral center, meaning it has four different substituents attached to a carbon atom. 2. **Choosing the Alkene**: ...

Give the structure of an optically active alkyne (A) having the lowest molecular mass, which on hydrogenation with Lindlard's catalyst and Birch reduction gives the same lowest molecular mass optically active alkene.

Which of the following is an optically inactive compound?

Carbene intermediates are produced by the photolysis of diazomethane (CH_2N_2) or kenene (CH_2 = C = O) . They are also produced by the reaction of CHX_3 with base or by Simmons-Smith reaction. There are two types of carbenes, singlet and triplet. They are so called due to their spin state.
