2 What is the structure of alkene that, upon ozonolysis reaction, gives only ut of Select one:

Answer 1

Oz ire. (both Zn, H₂O dre Same (ozonolysis reaction)

Ozonolysis is an organic reaction where the unsaturated bonds of alkenes, alkynes, or azo compounds are cleaved with ozone. Alkenes and alkynes form organic compounds in which the multiple carbon–carbon bond has been replaced by a carbonyl group while azo compounds form nitrosamines.

Also , Ozonolysis mechanism proceeds via an oxidative cleavage reaction. The ozone not only breaks the carbon pi bond but also the carbon-carbon sigma bond. It involves the attack of ozone on the given reactant to form an ozonide. To eliminate the oxygen in this intermediate stage, zinc dust is employed (since it forms zinc oxide with the oxygen). The final product varies based on the type of reactant and the workup.
