1.	A hydrocarbon (A) of the formula , C_7H_12 on ozonolysis gives a compound (B) which undergoes aldol condensation giving 1-acetylcyclopentene. Identify (A) and (B).
Answer» Solution :Since, the ozonolysis of hydrocarbon, (A), `C_7H_12` gives only ONE compound (B), it is clear that the compound (A), is cyclo ALKENE, The ozonolysis product , (b) (with no LESS of carbon atom) must have undergone intra- ALDOL CONDENSATION and gives 1-acetyl cyclopentene, i.e., .
