Which of the following alkenes forms formaldehyde and acetaldehyde on ozonolysis?

Options

  1. AEthene
  2. BPropene
  3. CBut-2-ene
  4. 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)andacetaldehyde(CH3CHO) and acetaldehyde (CH_3CHO).

Joining the carbonyl carbons of HCHOHCHO and CH3CHOCH_3CHO gives CH3−CH=CH2CH_3-CH=CH_2, which is propene.

Reaction:
CH3−CH=CH2→O3,Zn/H2OCH3CHO+HCHOCH_3-CH=CH_2 \xrightarrow{O_3, Zn/H_2O} CH_3CHO + HCHO

Thus, propene forms formaldehyde and acetaldehyde on ozonolysis.

Answer: Propene
