Question

Write the structure of the major organic product isolated from the reaction of 3-hexyne with ozone followed by hydrolysis. Enter the number of carbon present in the major product, i.e. ethane- 2.

Answer 1

The major organic product isolated from the reaction of 3-hexyne with ozone followed by hydrolysis is Propanoic acid

$C{H}_{3}C{H}_{2}C\equiv CC{H}_{2}C{H}_3\underset{hydrolysis}{\overset{\text{ozone}}{\to }}2C{H}_{3}C{H}_{2}COOH$

Propanoic acid contains 3 carbon atoms.
