    Compound X is optically inactive and contains two bromine atoms and 16 carbon atoms. Upon treatment with a strong base, X forms hydrocarbon Y which contains 14 carbon atoms. Y absorbs 2 hydrogen atoms when reduced over palladium and reacts with ozone to form two fragments, one being an aldehyde Z with 7 carbon atoms and 1 oxygen atom, and the other being glyoxal. X contains two chiral centers but is meso and therefore optically inactive.

    Problem

    Compound X is optically inactive and has the formula C16H16Br2. On treatment with strong base,
    X gives hydrocarbon Y, C16H14. Compound Y absorbs 2 equivalents of hydrogen when reduced
    over a palladium catalyst and reacts with ozone to give two fragments. One fragment, Z, is an
    aldehyde with formula C7H6O. The other fragment is glyoxal, (CHO)2. Write the reactions
    involved, and suggest structures for X, Z, and Z. What is the stereochemistry of X?

    Stereochemistry of compound X:

    In this compound ‘X’ two chiral centers are present but this compound is optically inactive due to
    plane of symmetry (meso-compound).
