Question

Describe ozonolysis method to prepare aldehyde and ketone (3 marks )​

Answer 1

Answer:

Ozonolysis is a reaction method in which addition of ozone molecules or O3 to an alkene compound leads to the formation of ozonide. Reduction of the ozonide compound with the help of zinc dust and water produces the smaller molecules, which in this case will be the respective aldehydes and ketones.
