Question

In the reaction sequence :
Cyclohexane $\stackrel{h\nu /C{l}_2}{\to }\left(X\right)\stackrel{alc.KOH/\Delta }{\to }\left(Y\right)\underset{\left(ii\right)H_{2}O/Zn}{\overset{\left(i\right)O_3}{\to }}\left(Z\right)$
$\left(Z\right)$ will be :

• A. Hexanal
• B. 2 - Hexanone
• C. 3 - Hexanone
• D. Hexanedial

Answer 1

The correct option is D Hexanedial

Monochlorination of cyclohexane with chlorine in presence of light gives chloro- cyclohexane.
Dehydrohalogenation in presence of alkaline $KOH$, gives cyclohexene.
Ozonolysis by reduction gives hexanedial.
