2. Partial hydrogenation of the triene shown below results in two compounds, A and B, both of molecular formula CioH14. In hexane (solvent), compound A shows a Amax=235 nm and B, 275 nm. Assign the structures. What is the third possible isomer not observed as a product of this hydrogenation? If formed, in what region would you expect it to absorb UV? 2.
