Hello students, in this question we have to determine the structure of a given compound.
00:06
We have been told that our compound decolorizes the bromine solution in carbon tetrachloride.
00:13
Now this is a positive test for unsaturation.
00:16
It means that our compound must contain an alkene or we can say it will contain at least one pi bond.
00:25
Now we have been told that the catalytic reduction of the compound gives us a cyclopentane derivative that is one ethyl and two methyl derivative.
00:37
So this is what we are getting upon catalytic hydrogenation.
00:40
Now catalytic hydrogenation adds two hydrogen atoms to the double bond.
00:47
So that double bond can be present between any of the two carbons in this ring.
00:54
In fact the double bond can be present in methyl or ethyl group as well.
00:59
Now we have been told that ozonolysis of our compound gives us aldehyde group here and the second aldehyde group here.
01:11
It means that these two carbon atoms must have the double bond...
