(d)

Answer to Problem 71A
The structure of 2,4-hexanedione is,
Explanation of Solution
The compound 2,4-hexanedione is a ketone. Ketones contain carbonyl group.
In ketones, the carbonyl group is bond to two carbon atoms. The general formula of a ketone is
Where,
In a ketone, the carbonyl group is not present at the end of the hydrocarbon chain.
In 2,4-hexanedione, there would be two keto groups (carbonyl groups) present the carbon-2 and carbon-4.
The parent carbon chain is hexane (six carbon atoms), since it is ketone consisting of two carbonyl groups, it is named as hexanedione.
The structure of 2,4-hexanedione is,
