Compounds Y and Z both have the formula C₂H18- Both Y and Z react with one molar equivalent of hydrogen in the presence of a palladium catalyst to form 2-methyloctane. The heat of hydrogenation of Y is less than that of Z. Y and Z each undergo hydroboration/oxidation to give a primary alcohol (OH attached to a primary carbon). What is the structure of Y?

Alkenes can be converted to alcohols by reaction with mercuric acetate to form a ß-hydroxyalkylmercury(II) acetate compound, a reaction called oxymercuration. Subsequent reduction with NaBH reduces the C-Hg bond to a C-H bond, forming the alkyl alcohol, a reaction called demercuration. Draw the structure of the Hg-containing compound and the final alcohol product formed in the reaction sequence.
