Brainberene, a compound isolated from an organic chemist’s brain, has the molecular formula C16 H26.  When Brainberene is subjected to catalytic hydrogenation using an excess of hydrogen, 1 mol of Brainberene absorbs 3 mol of hydrogen and produces B: C16 H32.  1) What is the element of unsatuation (IHD) of Brainberene?  2) How many double bonds and rings do Brainberene has? Laboratory experiments revealed that Brainberene has no triple bonds. 3) What is the IHD of B? d) How many double bonds and rings does B has? 12
