A hydrocarbon A C n H 2 n - 4 on ozonolysis gives C H 3 2 C H C H 2 C H O , O H C C H 2 C H 2 C H O and C H 3 C O C H 3 . The value of n is
Correct answer
16
Step-by-step solution
Based on the formula of hydrocarbon C n H 2 n - 4 the degree of unsaturation is 3. So, there is two case: (I) 3 double bonds (II) 1 double bond and 1 triple bond Second case can be easily rejected because products of ozonolysis are aldehyde or ketone rather than carboxylic acid. So the alkene would be: ( C H 3 ) 2 C H C H 2 C H = C H C H 2 C H 2 C H = C H C H 2 C H 2 C H = C C H 3 2 Which on ozonolysis will give products as: C H 3 2 C H C H 2 C H = C H C H 2 C H 2 C H = C H C H 2 C H 2 C H = C C H 3 2 → O z o n o l
