An unsaturated hydrocarbon X absorbs two hydrogen molecules on catalytic hydrogenation, and also gives following reaction:
X→iiZnH2OiO3A→AgNH32+B  (3-oxo-hexanedicarboxylic acid) X will be:

  • A
    Figure
  • B
    Figure
  • Correct answer
    C
    Figure
  • D
    Figure

Solution

Since X absorb two molecules of hydrogen on cataytic hydrogenation, it shoulf have to two double bonds.

Initial reaction is ozonolysis.
