An alkene A () gives only one carbonyl compound B on reductive ozonolysis. B gives a yellow precipitate with /. A is

  1. Ahex-3-ene
  2. Bcyclohexene
  3. C2,3-dimethylbut-2-ene
  4. D2-methylpent-2-ene

Answer: C

One carbonyl product means the alkene is symmetrical. Iodoform positive means B has a unit, so B is and A is . Hex-3-ene gives propanal (no iodoform), 2-methylpent-2-ene gives two carbonyls, and cyclohexene gives a dialdehyde.
