This is the simplest compound having five-carbonyl derivatives of that spontaneously open through a five, one hydrogen shift to create branched enols. This compound can be synthesized directly by base-catalyzed decarboxylation of pimelic acid, followed by removal of the oxygen substituent. Substituents to this compound experience large steric hindrance in the (*) equatorial position, so reactions on derivatives of this compound generally require axial substituents. This molecule can itself be destabilized by steric strain due when there exist equatorial hydrogens at positions one and four that point inwards. The aforementioned flagpole effect destabilizes the boat conformation of this molecule relative to the chair confirmation. Complete hydrogen reduction of benzene is the simplest way to form this organic compound. For 10 points, name this six-carbon ring alkane.
