Question

The number of optically active products obtained from the complete ozonolysis of the given compound is :
(a) 0
(b) 1
(c) 2
(d) 4

Answer 1

(a) 0 is The Correct Option

Becuase on Ozonolysis We Get 2 Compound

2CH3-CHO and 2CHO-CH(CH3)-CHO

and Both are Optically Inactive becuase no chiral carbon is present

Answer 2

Answer:

a) 0

Explanation:

In the process of Ozonolysis, one molecule of the given compound results in the formation of two products such as CH3CHO and OHCHCH(CH3)CHO, having two molecules each. None of these two is optically active.

For being optically active any molecule must contain a chiral carbon atom, which means the carbon atom that is attached to the four different groups. In the question given, none of the products formed has the chiral carbon and thus the mentioned ones all are optically inactive.

Hence, the correct option is A - Zero
