Question

explain ozonolysis in detail?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Ozonolysis: When an alkene reacts with ozone in an inert solvent (ether, CCl4etc.), an explosive and unstable ozonide is formed. The ozonide undergoes hydrolysis producing carbonyl compounds. These two processes, the addition of O3 and hydrolysis are collectively called ozonolysis.

Answer 2

Ozone reacts with both organic and inorganic compounds. One of the examples of organic reactions with ozone is ozonolysis. In this reaction, alkenes, alkynes or azo compounds react with ozone. In the ozonolysis of alkenes, ozone oxidizes alkene to form alcohols, aldehydes, ketones or carboxylic acid.
