Question

A certain compound of molecular formula C19H38 was isolated from fish oil and from plankton. On hydrogenation it gave 2, 6, 10, 14-tetramethylpentadecane. Ozonolysis gave (CH3)2C = O and a 16-carbon aldehyde. What is the structure of the natural product? What is the structure of the aldehyde?
