What is the structure of y


Compounds X and Y have the formula C6H12.  Both X and Y react with one molar equivalent of hydrogen in the presence of a palladium catalyst to form 2-methylpentane.  The heat of hydrogenation of X is less than that of Y.  X and Y react with HBr to form a mixture of the same bromoalkanes, and they both undergo hydroboration/oxidation to give a mixture of the same alcohols.  What is the structure of Y?
