Question:
Which of the following sequence of reagents converts 3-hexene to propane?
Which of the following sequence of reagents converts 3-hexene to propane?
Show Hint
Ozonolysis followed by Zn-Hg reduction is a standard method for converting alkenes to alkanes.
Updated On: Mar 13, 2025
- \( KMnO_4 | H^+; NaOH, CaO \)
- \( (i) O_3, (ii) Zn, H_2O; NaBH_4 \)
- \( (i) O_3, (ii) Zn, H_2O; Zn-Hg, HCl \)
- \( KMnO_4 | H^+; LiAlH_4, H_2O \)
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
Step 1: Mechanism of Reaction Ozonolysis breaks the double bond into carbonyl compounds. Zn/H\(_2\)O reduction converts them into aldehydes. Zn-Hg/HCl (Clemmensen reduction) converts aldehydes to alkanes.
