Solution
The correct option is C HCHO
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.
To find the compound involved in ozonolysis just eliminate the oxidised part (i.e. oxygen) of products and combine them with a double bond.
Alkene 'A' on ozonolysis gives only ethanal so it is a symmetrical alkene. Thus, eliminating the oxidised part of ethanal and combing them with a double bond gives 2-Butene.
This is shown clearly in the below diagram,
The only possible chain isomer of 'A' is
2-Methylprop-1-ene
The ozonolysis product of 2-Methylprop-1-ene are acetone and formaldehyde
