Question

Acetone and acetaldehyde are the
ozonolysis products of an alkene.
Write the structural formula of an
alkene and give IUPAC name of it.​

Answer 1

Answer:

2 methyl but-2-ene

Explanation:

Answer 2

2-methyl but-2-ene

Explanation:

• The alkene that gives Acetone and acetaldehyde as the  ozonolysis products are 2-methyl but-2-ene
• 2-methyl but-2-ene + Ozone → Acetone + Acetaldehyde

Thus, it reacts with ozone to give acetone and acetaldehyde.

The reactants used are -

• 2-methyl but-2-ene
• Ozone

The products formed are -

• Acetone
• Acetaldehyde

Thus the chemical reaction is as follows -

$CH_3-HC=C-CH_3-CH_3 + O_3$ → $CH_3CHO + CH_3-CO-CH_3$

• The structural formula of 2-methyl but-2-ene $(C_5H_1_0)$
• IUPAC name of the alkene = 2-methyl but-2-ene
