JEE Main 2025 Chemistry question
A compound 'X' absorbs 2 moles of hydrogen and 'X' upon oxidation with gives , and CH_3–CO–CH_2CH_2–CO–OH. The total number of bonds present in the compound 'X' is .
Answer: 27
Solution
Structure of X is deduced from oxidative cleavage products; counting all sigma bonds in the reconstructed structure gives 27.
