Compound A, C7H14, was found to be optically active. On catalytic reduction over a palladium catalyst, one equivalent of hydrogen gas was absorbed, yielding optically active compound B, C7H16. When compound A was treated with KMnO4 in an acidic solution, CO2 bubbled out and compound C was formed. Compound C has the formula C6H12O, and it is an optically active ketone. Draw the structures of compounds A, B, and C.
