Limonene `(C_(10)H_(16))` is a naturally occuring hydrocarbon. It absorbs 2 molecules of hydrogen for each molecule during hydrogenation. On ozonolysis followed by zinc and dust and steam hydrolysis, it gives one mole of formaldehyde and one mole of tricarbonyl compound of following structure.

Give probable structure of limonene if it has a six membrane ring.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Compound has a six-membrane ring. Therefore, its structures will be cyclic unsaturated. There will be two double bonds in the limonene because it absorbs two molecules of `H_(2)`.
