Question

Solve this:
22. Ozonolysis of an organic compound gives formaldehyde as one of the products. This confirms presence of
a) a vinyl group b) an isopropyl group
c) an acetylene triple bond d) two ethylenic double bond

Answer 1

Dear Student,

22)

Ozonolysis is an organic reaction where the unsaturated bonds of alkenes ,alkynes ,or azo compounds are cleaved with ozone.
As we say in Ozonolysis just break the double bond and O to the double bond now. So it should be
Vinyl group.(CH₂=CH₂-).Vinyl group on Ozonolysis gives formaldehyde

CH₂=CHR +O_3​→HCHO + RCHO

presence of one vinyl group gives formaldehyde as one of the ​​product
