Find out the double bond equivalent (DBE) value of the given following compound:

Double bond equivalents help in search for structure of a compound. It involves following steps: Calculate the expected number of hydrogen atoms in the saturated structure. (a) For C_(n) there would be: (2n+2) hydrogens if compound contains C,H,O only. (b) For C_(n),N_(m) there would be (2n+2+m) hydrogens. Subtract the actual number of hydrogen and divide by 2. This gives the double bond equivalents. Ring is considered to possess single DBE. Double bond equivalent of benzene will be:

How many double bond equivalents ( degree of unsaturation ) does a compound of molecular formula C_(6)H_(12)O_(6) possess ?
