Question

The carbonyl compound formed when ethanol gets oxidised using this copper-based

catalyst can also be obtained by ozonolysis of:

a) But-1-ene

b) But-2-ene

c) Ethene

d) Pent-1-ene​

Answer 1

Answer:(b)

Explanation:

C2H5OH +Cu ->(at573k) = CH3CHO

But-2-ene + ozonolysis = CH3CHO

Answer 2

Option (b) is the correct answer

The carbonyl compound formed when ethanol gets oxidised using this copper-based catalyst can also be obtained by ozonolysis of But-2-ene

Explanation:

• The carbonyl compound formed when ethanol gets oxidized using the copper-based catalyst can also be obtained by ozonolysis of But-2-ene.
• C₂H₅OH+Cu →CH₃CHO

• But-2-ene + Ozonolysis → CH₃CHO
• On ozonolysis of but-2-ene carbonyl compounds is formed.
• If the alkene is symmetrical upon ozonolysis gives aldehyde.
• If the alkene is asymmetrical upon ozonolysis it will give ketones and aldehyde.
