Cyclohexa-1,3-diene is treated with followed by . The organic products are

  1. Atwo molecules of butanedial
  2. Bethanedial only
  3. Cethanedial (glyoxal) and butanedial
  4. Dhexane-1,6-dial (hexanedial)

Answer: C

Both double bonds are cleaved and each carbon becomes C=O. The two carbons C-2 and C-3 between the double bonds end up as (ethanedial). The other four carbons C-4, C-5, C-6 and C-1 form (butanedial).
