1.	An unsaturated hydrocarbon 'A' adds two molecules of H_(2) and on reductive ozonolysis gives butane-1, 4-dial, ethanal and propanone. Give the structure of 'A', write its IUPAC name and explain actions involved.
Answer» SOLUTION :COMPOUND A on ozonolysis gives `CH_(3)CHO + O - CH - CH_(2)-CH_(2)-CHO + O-C(CH_(3))_(2)` `CH_(3)-CH-CH_(2)-CH_(2)-CH_(2)-CH=C(CH_(3))_(2)` The structure of A is IUPAC name : 2-methylocta 2,6-diene.
