Respuesta :
If it an alkyne and gives 3-ethylhexane on hydrogenation then the reaction will be
There will be three isomers of alkyne with given molecular formula
The reactions are shown in the attached figure

Answer:
3-ethyl-1-hexyne or 4-ethyl-1-hexyne.
Explanation:
Hello,
By means of the more likely reagents to undergo the stated hydrogentation via catalysis with palladium or platinum, its structure is shown on the attached picture which is eligible for either 3-ethyl-1-hexyne or 4-ethyl-1-hexyne since they lead to the very same product. Do not forget that such hydrogenation covers up all the insaturations turning out into the specified alkane.
Best regards.
