When treated with H 2 and a platinum catalyst, an unknown compound ( X ) absorbs 5 equivalents of H 2 to give n -butylcyclohexane. When X is treated with silver nitrate in ethanol, a white precipitate forms. This precipitate is found to be soluble in dilute acid. Treatment of X with an excess of ozone, followed by dimethyl sulfide and water, gives the three compounds shown in the picture. Propose a structure for the unknown compound ( X ).
