What does the products of ozonolysis of 1,2-dimethylbenzene (o-xylene) say about Kekulé structure for benzene?

Options

  1. AAll the three products cannot be obtained by any one of the Kekulé’s structures. This shows that benzene is a
  2. BThe products of ozonolysis of o-xylene support the Kekulé structure for benzene, as they indicate the presence
  3. CThe products of ozonolysis of o-xylene provide inconclusive evidence regarding the Kekulé structure for benzen
  4. DThe Kekulé structure for benzene has been discredited, and modern theories provide a more accurate description

Correct answer

A. All the three products cannot be obtained by any one of the Kekulé’s structures. This shows that benzene is a

Step-by-step solution

Correct Option is : (A) All the three products cannot be obtained by any one of the Kekulé’s structures. This shows that benzene is a resonance hybrid of the two resonating structures.
