A hydrocarbon (X), with the molecular formula: C8H14 is reduced in presence of sodium and liquid ammonia to give the only product (Y) with the molecular formula: C8H16. Compounds X and Y both resulting 2,5-dimethylhexane when treated with hydrogen and platinum catalyst (H2/Pt). As a result of the oxidative cleavage of compound Y (by using KMnO4 / H2SO4), a single carboxylic acid derivative with C4H8O2 molecular formula is formed.

Compound A has the molecular formula C14H25Br and was obtained by reaction of sodium acetylide (HC≡CNa) )with 1,12-dibromododecane. On treatment of compound A with sodium amide, it was converted to compound B (C14H24). Ozonolysis of compound B gave the diacid HO2C(CH2)12CO2H. Catalytic hydrogenation of compound B over Lindlar palladium gave compound C (C14H26), while hydrogenation over platinum gave compound D (C14H28).
