Question: Compounds L and M have the molecular formula C7H14, Compounds L and M are optically inactive, are nonresolvable, and are diastereomers of each other. Catalytic

Compounds L and M have the molecular formula C7H14, Compounds L and M are optically inactive, are nonresolvable, and are diastereomers of each other. Catalytic hydrogenation of either L or M yields N. Compound N is optically inactive but can be resolved into separate enantiomers. Propose possible structures for L, M, and N.

Compounds L and M have the molecular formula C7H14, Compounds

L(C,H14) Optically inactive) H2, Pt (Optically inactive, resolvable) H2. Pt M (C,H14) H2 Pt (Optically inactive) (L and M are diastereomers)
