Five isomeric alkenes A through E each undergo catalytic hydrogenation to give 2 -methylpentane.
The IR spectra of these five alkenes have the key absorptions (in \( \mathrm{cm}^{-1} \) ):
\begin{tabular}{|c|c|}
\hline Compound & Data \\
\hline Compound A & \( 912(\mathrm{~s}), 994(\mathrm{~s}), 1643(\mathrm{~s}), 3077(\mathrm{~m}) \) \\
\hline Compound B & \( 833(\mathrm{~s}), 1667(\mathrm{w}), 3050( \) weak shoulder on C-H absorption \( ) \) \\
\hline Compound C & \( 714(\mathrm{~s}), 1665(\mathrm{w}), 3010(\mathrm{~m}) \) \\
\hline Compound D & \( 885(\mathrm{~s}), 1650(\mathrm{~m}), 3086(\mathrm{~m}) \) \\
\hline Compound E & \( 967(\mathrm{~s}) \), no absorption 1600 to \( 1700,3040(\mathrm{~m}) \) \\
