Question

The compound in ozonolysis yields mainly acetaldehyde

Answer 1

Answer:

Beutylene yields acetaldehyde after ozonolysis.

Explanation:

Ozonolysis is the process of saturation of unsaturated carbon-carbon bonds of alkene, alkynes with ozone. It is the reaction where unsaturated carbon-carbon double bonds of alkenes and alkynes are replaced by a carbonyl group. One butylene is converted into two molecules of acetaldehyde in the presence of ozone and zinc. One molecule of propylene is converted to one molecule of acetaldehyde and one molecule of methanol.

CH3-CH=CH-CH3 --> 2 CH3CHO

CH3-CH=CH2 + O3 --> CH3CHO + HCHO
