When the reagent, Br2 in CCI4, (reddish-brown color), was added to Compound A of molecular formula C9H16, the reddish-brown color of the reagent changed to colorless, after the mixture was shaken. One mole of Compound A reacted with 1 mole of Hydrogen gas in the presence of Nickel catalyst to form a Compound B of molecular formula, C9H18. When the reagent, Br2 in CCI4, (reddish-brown color), was added to Compound B of molecular formula CoH18, the reddish-brown color of the reagent changed to colorless, after the mixture was shaken. Provide two possible structural formulas and corresponding IUPAC names of Compound A that will satisfy the above information. Provide a brief explanation for your answers.

What is going on from compound B to compound C? Can you please select all the options that apply
Compound A is an aromatic compound with the molecular formula C8H8. When treated with excess BR2, compound A is converted into compound B, with the molecular formula C8H8BR2. Draw the structure of compound a.
Two moles of organic compound ‘A’ on treatment with a strong base gives two compounds ‘B’ and ‘C’. Compound ‘B’ on dehydrogenation with Cu gives ‘A’ while acidification of ‘C’ yields carboxylic acid ‘D’ with molecular formula of CH2O2. Identify the compounds A, B, C and D and write all chemical reactions involved.
Compound A of molecular formula C8H14 is reduced by sodium in liquid ammonia to give compound B of molecular formula C8H16. product (Y).Both A and B undergo hydrogenation in the presence of a platinum catalyst to give 2,5-dimethylhexane. Ozonolysis of B with an oxidative workup produces a carboxylic acid of molecular formula C4H8O2. Reaction of B with a peroxyacid gives a chiral C8H14O product, but reaction with bromine gives an achiral C8H14Br2 product. What are the identities of A and B?
Draw the structure of a compound of molecular formula C6H10 that reacts with H2 in the presence of Pd-C but does not react with H2 in the presence of Lindlar catalyst.

Compound B isthen reacted with phenyl magnesium bromide, C6H5MgBr in the presence of aqueousacid to form compound C. Compound C has the molecular formula of C9H12O. Deducethe structure for compound A, B and C. PLEASE PROVIDE CLEAR DRAWINGS AND EXPLANATIONS
An organic compound A of unknown structure was found to have a molecular formula C8H16. When A was poured in water and heated, compound B having a molecular formula C8H18O was formed. B upon heating with sulfuric acid was converted to C as the major product which is identical to A. Ozonolysis of C gave one molecule each of two different products D and E, both having a molecular formula C4H8O. Write the reactions involved and determine the structure of A,B,C,D and E.
2,3-Dimethylfumaric acid has a molecular formula C6H8O4. It undergoes oxidativecleavage to form two identical compound N. Compound N is then reacted withethylmagnesium bromide to form compound O. Compound O is then hydrolysed inacidic condition to form compound P. Draw the structure of compound N, O and P. PLEASE PROVIDE CLEAR HANDWRITING, and explantion
Provide an acceptable name for the compound shown below
Compound X is reacted with acidic potassium dichromate solution and the product is shown in the photo. What is the possible structure of the starting compound X?
give the structural formula for compounds A to G
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. Again, as a result of the reaction of Y with perbenzoic acid, the chiral compound C8H14O is observed, but the reaction of compound Y with bromine gives the achiral C8H14Br2 as the product.
