Which of the compounds with molecular formula C ₅ H ₁₀ yields acetone on ozonolysis?
Options
- A3-Methyl-l-butene
- BCyclopentane
- C2-Methyl-1-butene
- D2-Methyl-2-butene
Correct answer
D. 2-Methyl-2-butene
Step-by-step solution
2-methyl-2-butene (molecular formula ( C ₅ H ₁₀ )) yields acetone on ozonolysis. Related Theory Ozone is a very reactive allotrope of oxygen. The reaction of ozone with alkenes and alkynes causes the oxidative cleaving of the alkene or alkyne. The carbon-carbon triple bonds are replaced with carbon-oxygen double bonds, giving the required carbonyl product
