Question

The products obtained by the ozonolysis of 2-ethylbut-1-ene are:

• A. propanone and ethanal
• B. ethanal and $3-pentanone$
• C. butanal and ethanal
• D. methanal and $2-pentanone$
• E. methanal and $3-petanone$

Answer 1

The correct option is E methanal and $3-petanone$

Thus, product of the ozonolysis of $2-ethylbut-1-ene$ are methanal and $3-pentanone$.

Note: To predict the products of ozonolysis, break the double bond by adding two $O-atoms as.
