Question

Convert
2 butene to ethanal

Answer 1

this can be done as follows

first by ozonolysis of 2 butene and then Treatment with zinc in presence of water will give ethanal

Answer 2

2 butene to ethanal can be converted in the process of ozonolysis

Explanation:

• 2 butene can be converted to ethanal by the process of ozonolysis, which takes place as given below:
• The reactant is an alkene.
• The required product is an aldehyde.
• Where but-2-ene is ozonolysis within the presence of, at 196 K conversion takes place. This conversion yields ethanal from But-2-ene at 196 degrees kelvin
• Conversion of but-2-ene takes place through catalytic isomerization. But-1-ene undergoes isomerization to but-2-ene in presence of nickel as a catalyst with hydrogen atoms.
