Question

Which of the following alkenes on reductive ozonolysis will give a mixture of ketones?

• A. $C{H}_{3}CH=CHC{H}_3$
• B. $(C{H}_3{)}_{2}C=CHC{H}_3$
• C. $(C{H}_3{)}_{2}C=C(C{H}_3{)}_2$
• D. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is C $(C{H}_3{)}_{2}C=C(C{H}_3{)}_2$

Reductive ozonolysis gives a mixture of ketones when the carbons having the double bond possess alkyl groups rather than hydrogen
