Question

Catalytic hydrogenation of $(S)-2,3$ -dimethyl-1-pentene gives only one optically active product. Show the product and explain the result. [Hint: Does addition of $\mathrm{H}_{2}$ either (1) create a new stereocenter or (2) affect any of the bonds around the stereocenter already present?]
