Compound A has the formula C9H19Cl. B is a C9H19Br compound. A and B undergo base-promoted E2 elimination to give the same alkene C as the major product as well as different minor products. C reacts with one molar equivalent of hydrogen in the presence of a palladium catalyst to form 2,6-dimethylheptane. Addition of HCl to C yields A as the major product. Propose structures for A and B.
