The reactions involve the addition of HCN, reduction with H2, reaction with HNO2, and elimination to form compound E. The IR spectral data indicates that compound A has a carbonyl group (strong peak at 1750 cm^-1), while compound E has a similar but slightly shifted peak (around 1715 cm^-1). By analyzing the transformations and the candidates provided, we conclude that compound E is 3,4-dimethylcyclohexan-1-one."}
