Question

Name the alkene which on ozonolysis gives two molecules of Acetone?

Answer 1

2-methyl propene.
CH3-C(CH3) =CH2

Answer 2

Explanation:

“2,3 dimethylbut-2-ene” alkene which on ozonolysis gives two molecules of Acetone.

Ozonolysis:

• ‘Ozonolysis’ is an ‘organic reaction’ in which the unsaturated alkene, alkyne, or azo compound bonds are bonded with ozone.
• “Alkenes and alkynes” form organic compounds in that a carbonyl group has substituted the various carbon – carbon bond while nitrosamines are formed by azo compounds.

• “2,3 dimethylbut-2-ene” has keto functional group at the second carbon of the carbon chain, ozonolsis of this molecules gives two molecules of acetone.
