Question: A hydrocarbon with molecular formula $ C_6H_8 $ is chiral but upon catalytic hydrogenation gives achiral hydrocarbon of molar mass 86. Which of the following could be the starting compound?
Options:
A) 3-methy1-1-pentene-4-yne
B) 1, 4-dimethylcyclobutadiene
C) 1-etheny1-3-methylcyclopropene
D) 5-methy1-1, 3-cyclopentadiene
