Which of the following alkenes forms formaldehyde and acetaldehyde on ozonolysis?
Options
- AEthene
- BPropene
- CBut-2-ene
- DBut-1-ene
Correct answer
B. Propene
Step-by-step solution
Ozonolysis of an alkene involves the cleavage of the carbon-carbon double bond to form carbonyl compounds.
To find the original alkene, we remove the oxygen atoms from the carbonyl products and join the carbon atoms with a double bond.
The given products are formaldehyde (HCHO).
Joining the carbonyl carbons of and gives , which is propene.
Reaction:
Thus, propene forms formaldehyde and acetaldehyde on ozonolysis.
