Dutch elm disease is caused by a fungus that is transmitted to elm trees by the elm bark beetle. The female beetle locates a suitable tree, then releases several pheromones, including the compound multistriatin shown below. The pheromones attract the male beetles, which carry the fungus, thereby infecting susceptible trees. Ą Multistriatin features a single functional group, the ketal, which is two oxygen atoms attached to a single carbon atom as shown. When reacted with dilute acid, multistriatin is converted to a new product with the molecular formula C₁0H₂003. This new compound exhibits a strong IR band at 1715 cm³¹, and additional overlapping bands at about 3600 cm³¹. Propose a structure for this new product. Please use
