Solution

The correct option is D a and c

Ozonolysis of alkenes involves the addition of an ozone molecule to an alkene, to form an ozonide. Formed ozonide gets cleaved by Zn/H2O to smaller oxidised molecules.

In the given compounds, both the double bond react with O3 to form a cyclic peroxide derivative called ozonide. These ozonides gets cleaved to form respective oxidised molecule.

Compound (a) and (c) on ozonolysis gives 4-methyl-3-oxopentanal and 3-oxobutanal as shown :


Compound (b) on ozonolysis gives 5-methyl-4-oxohexanal and 2-oxopropanal (Methyl glyoxal)
