Question

Which alkene on ozonolysis gives \( \text{CH}_2 \text{CHO} \) and \( \text{CH}_3 \text{CO} \)?

• A. \( \text{CH}_3 \text{CH}_2 \text{CH} = \text{CH}_3 \)
• B. \( \text{CH}_3 \text{CH}_2 \text{CH} = \text{CH}_2 \)
• C. \( \text{CH}_3 \text{CH}_2 \text{C} = \text{CH}_3 \)
• D. \( \text{CH}_3 \text{C} = \text{C} \text{CH}_3 \)

Hint:

Ozonolysis of alkenes breaks the double bond, forming carbonyl compounds based on the structure of the alkene.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Ozonolysis reaction.
Ozonolysis of alkenes involves the cleavage of the double bond by ozone to form carbonyl compounds. The correct alkene that would give the products \( \text{CH}_2 \text{CHO} \) and \( \text{CH}_3 \text{CO} \) is \( \text{CH}_3 \text{CH}_2 \text{CH} = \text{CH}_3 \).
Thus, the correct answer is (1).
