A hydrocarbon 'X' with formula C6H8 uses two moles of H2 on catalystic hydrogenation of its one mole. On ozonolysis, 'X' yields two moles of methane dicarbaldehyde. The hydrocarbon 'X' is :
  1. hexa-1, 3, 5-triene
  2. 1-methylcyclopenta-1, 4-diene
  3. cyclohexa-1, 3-diene
  4. cyclohexa-1, 4-diene

Solution

A hydrocarbon X with formula C6H8 uses two moles of H2 on catalystic hydrogenation of its one mole. On ozonolysis,  X yields two moles of methane dicarbaldehyde. The hydrocarbon is cyclohexa-1,4-diene.
