A newly isolated natural product was found to have the molecular formula C15H28O2. By hydrogenating a sample of the compound, it was determined to possess one π bond. How many rings are present in the compound?

Respuesta :

Answer: one ring

Explanation:

C15H28O2: DU= (2(m)+2-n)/2

m is the no of Carbon atoms and n is no of Hs in the given Molecular Forumla.

DU=2(15)+2-28/2= 32-28/2=2

It mentioned that it has one double bond and it corresponds to one DU.

And remaining one DU corresponds to one ring
