An alkene with the molecular formula C ₆ H ₁₂ yields only a single type of carbonyl compound upon reductive ozonolysis. If the alkene also exhibits geometrical isomerism, its IUPAC name is
Options
- A2,3-Dimethylbut-2-ene
- BCyclohexene
- CHex-3-ene
- DHex-2-ene
Correct answer
C. Hex-3-ene
Step-by-step solution
The alkene yields only a single type of carbonyl compound upon reductive ozonolysis, which indicates that it must be a symmetrical alkene. For the molecular formula C ₆ H ₁₂ , the possible symmetrical acyclic alkenes are hex-3-ene and 2,3-dimethylbut-2-ene. Cyclohexene is a cyclic alkene that also yields a single product (hexanedial) upon ozonolysis. The question states that the alkene exhibits geometrical (cis-trans) isomerism. For geometrical isomerism to occur, each carbon atom of the double bond must be attache
