Essay

A compound "Z" (C₁₀H₁₆),has $\lambda$ _max at 184 nm in its UV spectrum.Catalytic hydrogenation of Z affords a mixture of diastereomers,which upon separation are identified to be cis-1-isopropyl-4-methylcyclohexane and trans-1-isopropyl-4-methylcyclohexane.Upon ozonolysis,Z yields formaldehyde and 3-acetyl-6-oxoheptanal.Suggest a structure for Z that is consistent with all of the above data,clearly explaining your rationale.
