Question

What do u mean by ozonolysis? give examples.

Answer 1

Overview:

Ozonolysis is the process by which ozone (O3) reacts with alkenes (olefins) to break the double bond and form two carbonyl groups. If the double bond of the alkene is substituted with hydrogen or carbon atoms, the carbonyl groups that are formed are either aldehydes or ketones. Acyclic alkenes form two carbonyl compounds while cyclic alkenes produce a single compound containing two carbonyl groups.

Answer 2

Ozonolysis is an organic reaction where the unsaturated bonds of alkenes alkynes compounds are cleaved with ozone Alkenes and alkynes form organic compounds in which the multiple carbon–carbon bond has been replaced by a carbonyl group while azo compounds form nitrosamines.
