The alkanes are cis 3-methyl 2-hexane and trans 2-methyl -2 hexane and the relative amounts of each of the two alkanes are generated is 36% and 64%.

What is Stereoisomer ?

Stereoisomer are the type of isomer which have the same molecular formula and differ only in the spatial arrangement of their atoms.

What is Catalytic hydrogenation ?

Catalytic hydrogenation is the addition of hydrogen to a C = C to form an alkane.

In the compound (Z) 3-methyl 2-hexene on catalytic reduction gives the two stereoisomer that is cis 3-methyl 2-hexane and trans 2-methyl -2 hexane. The amount of compound in the product is 36% and 64%.

Thus from the above conclusion we can say that The alkanes are cis 3-methyl 2-hexane and trans 2-methyl -2 hexane and the relative amounts of each of the two alkanes are generated is 36% and 64%.
