Examine the structural formulas of the following compounds and find how many compounds will produce CO 2 on oxidative ozonolysis:

Step-by-step solution

Ozonolysis of alkene and alkyne gives different compounds based on reductive ozonolysis and oxidative ozonolysis. Oxidative ozonolysis of non-terminal alkenes gives carboxylic acid. Oxidative ozonolysis of non-terminal alkenes gives ketone. Oxidative ozonolysis of terminal alkyne gives carboxylic acid. Similarly, oxidative cleavage of terminal alkyne gives carboxylic acid and carbon dioxide. .
