QUESTION 5 Compound A has the formula C8H8. It reacts rapidly with KMNO4 to give C02 and a carboxylic acid, B (C7H6O2), but reacts with only 1 molar equivalent of H2 on catalytic hydrogenation over a palladium catalyst. On hydrogenation under conditions that reduce aromatic rings, 4, equivalents of H2 are taken up and hydrocarbon C (C8H16) is produced. What are the structures of A, B, and C. CO 8.9.9.8

QUESTION 5
Compound A has the formula C8H8. It reacts rapidly with KMNO4 to give CO2 and a carboxylic acid, B (C7H602), but reacts with only 1
molar equivalent of H2 on catalytic hydrogenation over a palladium catalyst. On hydrogenation under conditions that reduce aromatic rings, 4,
equivalents of H2 are taken up and hydrocarbon C (C8H16) is produced. What are the structures of A, B, and C.
