The correct Answer is:
To determine which compound confirms the unsaturation character of benzene, we will analyze the formation of different compounds from benzene and how they relate to the presence of double bonds. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Benzene Structure**: - Benzene (C₆H₆) is an aromatic compound with a cyclic structure and alternating double bonds. This structure indicates the presence of unsaturation (double bonds). 2. **Hydrogenation to Cyclohexane**: - When benzene undergoes hydrogenation (addition of hydrogen) in the presence of a catalyst, it converts to cyclohexane (C₆H₁₂). - The reaction involves breaking the double bonds in benzene, confirming the unsaturation character since the double bonds are lost in the process. 3. **Excessive Chlorination to Form Gamaxane**: - In the case of excessive chlorination of benzene, the reaction introduces chlorine atoms across the double bonds, leading to the formation of a chlorinated compound (like gamaxane). - This reaction also results in the loss of unsaturation, as the double bonds are replaced by single bonds with chlorine. 4. **Ozonolysis to Form Glyoxal**: - When benzene is treated with ozone (ozonolysis), followed by reduction (using H₂O₂), it results in the formation of glyoxal (C₂H₂O₂). - This reaction breaks the double bonds and replaces them with oxygen atoms, thus confirming the loss of unsaturation. 5. **Conclusion**: - All three reactions (hydrogenation, excessive chlorination, and ozonolysis) lead to the loss of unsaturation in benzene, confirming its unsaturation character. - Therefore, the formation of any of these compounds (cyclohexane, gamaxane, or glyoxal) confirms the unsaturation character of benzene. ### Final Answer: The formation of cyclohexane, gamaxane, or glyoxal confirms the unsaturation character of benzene. Thus, the correct choice is **option D** (all of the above). ---
