Calculating The Degree of Unsaturation (DU) [2C+2=(2x3)+2=8.] The compound needs 4 more hydrogens in order to be fully saturated (expected number of hydrogens-observed number of hydrogens=8-4=4). Degrees of unsaturation is equal to 2, or half the number of hydrogens the molecule needs to be classified as saturated.
