Question

Reductive ozonolysis of an alkene 'x' gives a mixture of propanone and propanal as the product. Write the formula of the alkene 'x' and give its iupac name.

Answer 1

Explanation:

By ozonolysis of alkenes: As we know, ozonolysis of alkenes ... atoms, it gives a mixture of four products

Answer 2

The Reductive ozonolysis of an alkene that gives  mixture of propanone and propanal as the product is 2-methyl pent-2-ene .

Explanation:

Ozonolysis

1. It is a type of  oxidative cleavage in which the double bond gets cleaved to form other compounds .
2. It occurs by cleaving it with ozone .
3. The compounds formed can be  ketones, aldehydes or carboxylic acid .
4. The products or compounds formed by ozonolysis depends on :

The alkyl groups present in alkene:

• If Ends of alkenes has alkyl groups on both ends then it will form compound with CO group that is   Ketones
•  If  Ends of alkenes has atleast  one Hydrogen then it will form compound having CHO group that is an   Aldehydes
• If Ends of alkenes with has Hydrogen at both ends then it will form   HCHO that is Formaldehyde
