Question

Which statements is/are correct ?

• A. Compound (B) is meso- and (C) is racemic-1, 2-dimethyl cyclohexane.
• B. Compound (B) is racemic-and (C) is meso-1, 2-dimethyl cyclohexane.
• C. Compound (D) is 1, 2-dimethyl cyclohexane
• D. Octane-2, 7-dione is obtained on reductive ozonolysis of compound (D).

Answer 1

Answer: (B), (D)

The correct options are
B Compound (B) is racemic-and (C) is meso-1, 2-dimethyl cyclohexane.
D Octane-2, 7-dione is obtained on reductive ozonolysis of compound (D).

So compound (B) is racemic-and (C) is meso-1, 2-dimethyl cyclohexane.

Octane-2, 7-dione is obtained on reductive ozonolysis of compound (D).

Hence option B & D are correct.
