Question

What is ozonolysis pls explain in detail with a diagram?

Answer 1

Ozonolysis is a method of oxidatively cleaving alkenes or alkynes using ozone $\left(O_3{O}_3\right)$, a reactive allotrope of oxygen. The process allows for carbon-carbon double or triple bonds to be replaced by double bonds with oxygen. This reaction is often used to identify the structure of unknown alkenes. by breaking them down into smaller, more easily identifiable pieces. Ozonolysis also occurs naturally and would break down repeated units used in rubber and other polymers. On an industrial scale, azelaic acid and pelargonic acids are produced from ozonolysis.
