Compound j c16h16br2 is optically active on treatment with


Compound J, C16H16Br2, is optically active. On treatment with strong base, compounds K and L (each C16H14) are formed; K and L each absorb only 2 equivalents of hydrogen when reduced over a Pd/C catalyst. Compound K reacts with ozone to give phenylacetic acid (C6H5CH2COOH), while similar treatment of L gives 2 products. One product, M, is an aldehyde with formula C7H6O; the other product is glyoxal (CHO)2. Depict the structure of compound M.

Use wedge as well as dash bonds to indicate stereochemistry.

Suppose more than one structure is possible, depict them all.

Do not unequivocally draw hydrogens.
