(Solution) - A compound A C6H undergoes catalytic hydrogenation over Lindlar catalyst -(2025 Original AI-Free Solution)

Paper Details

A compound A (C6H) undergoes catalytic hydrogenation over Lindlar catalyst to give a compound B, which in turn undergoes ozonolysis followed by workup with aqueous H2O2 to yield succinic acid and two equivalents of formic acid. In the absence of a catalyst poison, hydrogenation of A gives hexane. Propose a structure for compound A.
