Compound ABC is an optically active hydrocarbon with the molecular formula C8H16. Upon hydrogenation over a Platinum catalyst, ABC absorbs exactly one (1) mole of hydrogen gas resulting in the formation of compound DEF (C,H18). Ozonolysis of ABC followed by reductive workup using Zn and dilute acid yields two compounds. These include acetone and compound GHI which is an optically active aldehyde. Propose structures for ABC, DEF, and GHI. DEF H2 Pt АВС 1. O3 2. Zn, H GHI
