Compund ac12h18 upon treatment with h2 gas in the presence


Compund A(C12H18), upon treatment with H2 gas in the presence of Lindlar's catalyst, furnished compund B(C12H20) as the only product. Compound B was then treated first with ozone and then with zinc dust to yield two couponds in equal amounts (see information below). Provide the structures for A and B, being careful to show any relevant stereochemistry. As well, be sure to explain your reasoning.

The two compounds that were produced in equal amounts are:

Product 1: acetone - CH3C(=O)CH3

Product 2: CH(=O)CH2CH(=O) OR CHOCH2CHO (Note: I wrote the 2nd product two different ways because I'm having difficulty naming it. It appears to be an aldehyde)
