Answer #1

When an alkene is treated sequentially with ozone (O3) and zinc/acetic acid, the C=C double bond is broken and the C atoms attached to double bond are converted to carbonyl groups.

The products of the reductive ozonolysis are as shown.

03 CH3 Zinc CH3 acetic acid 5-oxohexanal 1-methylcyclopent-1-ene

H2C CH Zinc acetic H2C3 acid cyclohexanon pentan-3-ylidenecyclohexane

CH2 03 H3C CH Zinc CH3 H3C + acetic acid CH CH CH3 CH3 Formaldehdye 2,4-dimethyl-3-methylenepentane 2,4-dimethylpentan-3-one
