Unknown X, C5H9BrC5H9Br, does not react with bromine or with dilute KMnO4KMnO4. Upon treatment with potassium tert-butoxide, X gives only one product, Y, C5H8C5H8. Unlike X, Y decolorizes bromine and changes KMnO4KMnO4 from purple to brown. Catalytic hydrogenation of Y gives methylcyclobutane. Ozonolysis-reduction of Y gives dialdehyde Z, C5H8O2C5H8O2.     Part A Propose consistent structures for X, Y, and Z.
