Oximene and myrcene, two hydrocarbons isolated from alfalfa that have the molecular formula C10H16, both yield 2,6-dimethyloctane when treated with H2 and a Pd catalyst. Ozonolysis of oximene forms (CH3)2C=O, CH2=O, CH2(CHO)2, and CH3COCHO. Ozonolysis of myrcene yields (CH3)2C=O, CH2=O (two equiv), and HCOCH2CH2COCHO. Identify the structures of oximene and myrcene.
