Q. In the reaction sequence, $CH_{3}CH = CH_{2}\underset{(ii)H_{2}O/Zn}{\overset{\ \ \ \ \ (i)O_{3}\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ }{\rightarrow}}$ Products Products will be
A) $CH_{3}COCH_{3}$
B) $CH_{3}COCH_{2}OH$
C) $CH_{3}COOH + HCOOH$
D) $CH_{3}CHO + HCHO$
Explanation
(d)
The reaction is ozonolysis. During the reaction $C = C$ breaks to give carbonyl compounds.
$CH_{3}CH = CH_{2}\underset{H_{2}O_{2}}{\overset{{\ \ \ \ \ \ O}_{3}\ \ \ }{\rightarrow}}CH_{3}CHO + HCHO$
