First, complete and balance each of the equations below. Then, choosing among ethanol, hexane, and liquid ammonia, state which (there may be more than one) might be suitable solvents for each of these reactions. Disregard the practical limitations that come from consideration of “like dissolves like” and base your answers only on relative acidities.

Compound H is optically active and has the molecular formula C₆H₁₀. On catalytic hydrogenation H is converted to I (C₆H₁₂) and I is optically inactive. Propose structures for H and I.
 

Compound F has the molecular formula C₅H₈ and is optically active. On catalytic hydrogenation F yields G (C₅H₁₂) and G is optically inactive. Propose structures for F and G.
 

A compound D with the molecular formula C₆H₁₂ is optically inactive but can be resolved into enantiomers. On catalytic hydrogenation, D is converted to E (C₆H₁₄) and E is optically inactive. Propose structures for D and E.
 

Discuss the anticipated stereochemistry of each of the following compounds. (c) ClCH=C=C=CCl₂
