Determine the product obtained when the given molecule is reacted with H 2 over Pd-C. Make sure to mention the relative stereochemistry. Any racemic mixtures should be shown by drawing both enantiomers.
Chemists use deuterium to better understand the details of reaction mechanisms because deuterium behaves like hydrogen in chemical reactions but is detected differently.
