xpect to be the major product? Write conformational structures showing how each
is formed.
(b) When trans-1-bromo-2-methylcyclohexane reacts in an E2 reaction, only one cy
clohexenes is formed. What is this product? Write conformational structures show
ing why it is the only product.

17. Compound A has the molecular formula
C10H16 and is known not to contain any triple bonds. When treated with excess hy
drogen and a platinum catalyst, compound A is converted to
2,6-dimethyloctane. Ozonolysis of compound A followed by treatment with Me2S yie
lds 2 mol of HCHO, 1 mol of CH3COCH3, and a third compound B with the formula C5
H6O3. Please deduce the structures of compound A and B, and explain your answers
