Question

$C{H}_3-C\equiv C-C{H}_3\underset{\left(ii\right)Zn/H_{2}O}{\overset{\left(i\right)X}{\to }}C{H}_3-\underset{O}{\underset{||}{C}}-\underset{O}{\underset{||}{C}}-C{H}_3$,

Predict $X$ in the given set of reaction.

• A. $HCl$
• B. $Pd/BaS{O}_4$
• C. $O_3$
• D. $Na/N{H}_3$(liq.)

Answer 1

The correct option is C $O_3$

$C{H}_3-C\equiv C-C{H}_3\underset{\left(ii\right)H_{2}O/Zn}{\overset{\left(i\right)O_3}{\to }}C{H}_3-\underset{O}{\underset{||}{C}}-\underset{O}{\underset{||}{C}}-C{H}_3$, X is :

2-Butyne Butane-2, 3-dione

Ozonolysis is an organic reaction where the unsaturated bonds of alkenes, alkynes, are cleaved with ozone. Alkenes and alkynes form organic compounds in which the multiple carbon–carbon bond has been replaced by a carbonyl group
