ANSWER:Step 1 of 2
This exercise is challenging. It presents us with an unknown compound \(\mathbf{A}\) (molecular formula \(\mathrm{C}_{7} \mathrm{H}_{10}\) ) that has a \(\lambda_{\max }\) of \(230 \mathrm{~nm}\) in its UV absorption spectrum. Upon hydrogenation with a metal catalyst, compound \(A\) reacts with two equivalents of hydrogen gas. Ozonolysis of \(A\) yields the following compounds (shown below). We're challenged to identify two possible structures for the compound \(\mathrm{A}\).
