Compounds X and Y have the formulaC₆H₁₂.
Both X and Y react with one molar equivalent ofhydrogen in the presence of a palladium catalyst to form2-methylpentane.
The heat of hydrogenation of X is less than that ofY.
X and Y react with HBr to form a mixture of the samebromoalkanes, and they both undergo hydroboration/oxidation to givea mixture of the same alcohols.
What is the structure of Y?
