Question

Naphthalene on Nickel catalytic reduction gives (a) decalin (b) tetralin (c) dialin (d) none

Answer 1

Explanation:

Answer is (b) tetralin

Hope it well help you

Answer 2

The correct answer is option (b) tetralin.

Explanation:

• Naphthalene on Nickel catalytic reduction gives tetralin.
• Catalytic hydrogenation is the reaction of an unsaturated compound with hydrogen in presence of nickle/platinum catalyst .
• Naphthalene is an unsaturated compound consists of two fused benzene rings.
• The unsaturated hydrocarbons to saturated hydrocarbons is reduced by the Catalytic hydrogenation.
• Hence, the correct answer is option (b) tetralin.
