Chemistry Question on Alkenes
Which alkene on ozonolysis gives CH3CH2CHO and 
A
B
CH3CH2CH = CHCH2CH3
C
CH3CH2CH = CHCH3
D
Answer
Explanation
Solution
The correct option is(A): 
When ozone is introduced into an organic solvent containing an olefin, it results in the formation of an ozonide. This ozonide, when subjected to reduction using either zinc and acid or hydrogen with a nickel catalyst (H2/Ni), yields aldehydes and/or ketones as the final products. Analyzing the characteristics of these products plays a crucial role in determining the precise location of the double bond in the olefin.
