An optically active compound, Y, with the molecular formula C₂H12 gives a positive test ("reacts") with cold dilute KMnO4. On catalytic hydrogenation, Y yields Z(C7H16) and Z is also optically active. Which is a possible structure for Y? O CH2CHCH(CH3)CH2CHCH2 O CH3CH2CH(CH3)CH2CCH O It could be three of these structures given O CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2CCH O CH3CH2CH(CH3)CCCH3
