I would really appreciate your help with this questionto prepare me for an upcoming test! Thank you! Compound A has a molecular formula ofC12H20. It reacts with H2over a palladium catalyst to give Compound B with a molecularformula of C12H24. Compund A undergoesoxidative cleavage with hot acidic KMnO4 to give twomolecules of acetone and dikitone. What is the structure ofA?

Explanation / Answer
C12H20 + H2 ----------> C12H24 We Know that DBE = C+1-(H/X-N/2) aubatutite these values in above equation than we get DBE = 12+1-(20/2) = 13-10 = 3 So the unknown compound may have two double bonds andone ring or one triple bond and one ring or two rings and onedouble bond but above reaction telling about that it takes 4hydrogens it means it takes two moles of Hydrogen hence unknown compoung must have either one ring& two double bonds or one triple bond and ring
