Question

pentanedial by an ozonolysis​

Answer 1

Ozonolysis mechanism proceeds via an oxidative cleavage reaction. The ozone not only breaks the carbon pi bond but also the carbon-carbon sigma bond. It involves the attack of ozone on the given reactant to form an ozonide.

Explanation

1.Ozonolysis is an organic reaction where the unsaturated bonds of alkenes, alkynes, or azo compounds are cleaved with ozone.

2. Alkenes and alkynes form organic compounds in which the multiple carbon–carbon bond has been replaced by a carbonyl group while azo compounds form nitrosamines.

3.Ozonolysis is a type of weak oxidative cleavage where we cleave alkenes (double bonds) into either ketones, aldehydes or carboxylic acid using ozone.
