Ozonolysis of Alkenes
- Ozonolysis is a reaction where alkenes are cleaved by ozone, followed by reductive workup (e.g., Zn/HCl or Zn/H2O), to form carbonyl compounds.
- The double bond is broken, and each carbon of the double bond becomes part of a carbonyl group (either an aldehyde or ketone).
- In this reaction, the alkene is cleaved at the double bond, and the fragments formed depend on the groups attached to the alkene.
EXPLANATION:
- In the given reaction, the alkene structure is (CH3)2—C=CH—CH3.
- Upon ozonolysis, the double bond between the two middle carbon atoms breaks, and each carbon becomes part of a carbonyl group.
- The left fragment forms acetone (CH3—CO—CH3), and the right fragment forms acetaldehyde (CH3—CHO).
The correct answer is option 2: Acetone and Acetaldehyde.
