Physical Properties of Alkynes

B 2-butyne A....

Question

$B Y \leftarrow 2 - b u t y n e X - \to$ A. A and B are geometrically isomers. 'A' is more symmetrically than 'B'. 'B' has higher heat of hydrogenation than 'A'. Then 'X' and 'Y' are respectively:

L i / L i q N H_{3}, H_{2} /

Lindlar's catalyst

Solution

The correct option is A $L i / L i q N H_{3}, H_{2} /$ Lindlar's catalyst
'X' and 'Y' are $L i / L i q N H_{3}, H_{2} /$ Lindlar's catalyst respectively.
$L i / L i q N H_{3}$ reduces $2 - b u t y n e$ to $t r a n s - 2 - b u t e n e$ (A).
$H_{2}$ Lindlar's catalyst reduces $2 - b u t y n e$ to $c i s - 2 - b u t e n e$ (B).
$t r a n s - 2 - b u t e n e$ is more symmetrical than $c i s - 2 - b u t e n e$ as $t r a n s - 2 - b u t e n e$ has inversion centre which is not present in $c i s - 2 - b u t e n e$ .
$c i s - 2 - b u t e n e$ has higher heat of hydrogenation than $t r a n s - 2 - b u t e n e$ .
