Question

A conjugated alkadiene having molecular formula $C_{12}{H}_{22}$ on ozonolysis yields butanone, ethanedial and cyclohexanecarbaldehyde. Which of the following is the correct structural formula ofthe alkadiene.

• A.
• B.
• C.
• D.

Answer 1

The correct option is B


Parent compound can be retrieved by joining the $C$ atoms of two $CO$ groups using double bond. Since ozonolysis leads to cleavage of $C=C$ bonds and oxidises it to respective carbonyls or acids.
