The reactions involve the addition of HCN, reduction with H2, reaction with HNO2, and elimination to form compound E. The IR spectral data indicates a shift in carbonyl absorption from compound A to compound E, suggesting structural changes. By analyzing the reaction sequence and the hints provided, we can deduce that compound E is 3,4-dimethylcyclohexan-1-one, as it fits the criteria established by the reactions and spectral data."}
