Which has higher rate of hydrogenation- methyl propene or trans-2-butene?
I know that cis-2-butene has a higher rate of hydrogenation than both of these due to steric reasons, but here, both of these compounds have the same steric hindrance.
So, when they come in contact with the hydrogen adsorbed catalyst, they both should behave in a similar manner. Is this correct?
